Our Library has a die-cut machine that we will make available quarterly to our community. A die-cut machine allows multiple copies of selected shapes to be cut at a rapid pace. Use of the Die-Cut machine is free, but you must provide your own paper supplies for cutting. The Ellison Die-Cut machine accepts most types of paper, including construction paper, photo paper, scrapbooking papers, and craft foam.

Is your child home sick and looking for something to do? Call the Library for a Sick Child Kit. Based on the age and interests of your child, we will gather library materials for you to pick up and check out. Books, DVD’s, compact discs, puzzles, magazines, word games, and coloring sheets may be included. Parents will need to have a valid Warrenville Public Library card to use this service. Call 393-1171, ext. 110 to order a kit.

Children dealing with major changes in their lives often need answers and guidance. Our Thematic Bags contain materials related to some of the issues children may face. Each bag contains books for kids and adults, DVD or videos, and realia, suitable for preschoolers through 3rd graders. Parents may check out the bags for 2 weeks. Kits are available for Warrenville cardholders only.
