A Note to Our Readers

For nearly 200 years, Baker & Taylor has been one of the largest distributors supplying books to libraries across the country — including ours. Their recent closure marks a major shift for public libraries nationwide.

What This Means for You

Libraries everywhere are feeling the ripple effects. Some newly published books may take a bit longer to arrive as supply chains and ordering systems adjust. Our team is already partnering with new distributors and updating our processes to keep your reading experience as seamless as possible.

What You Can Do

  • Place holds early. If you know a new book is coming out, reserve it now to save your spot.
  • Try our digital collections. Many new releases are available instantly on Libby and Hoopla.
  • Discover something new. Use this time to explore different authors, genres, or formats — our staff are always happy to recommend hidden gems.

We understand that delays can be frustrating and appreciate your patience as we transition to new suppliers. Thank you for your continued support of the Rolling Meadows Library.
