The creative studio is open on Sunday afternoons and two evenings a week, so stop by for monthly crafts and to use maker space equipment.

Middle school and high school youths can use some of the materials while with an adult or during Teen Time. Creative studio hours: Sunday from 1-4:45 p.m.; Mondays and Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and 5-7:45 p.m.; and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. The studio is closed Fridays and Saturdays.
Curbside delivery
The library is open for browsing, but patrons can still use curbside service. Place your holds online at byronlibrary.org or call at 815-234-5107. Not sure what you want? Call for help. Staff will call or email you with a confirmation when your holds are ready to be picked up. Call when you arrive at the library, and the staff will bring your items out to you, already checked out. A receipt with your due dates will be included with your items.
