Notary Services
The Harnish Main Library offers notary services in the Administration Offices on the upper level. The notary public verifies the person in his/her presence is the signer of a document. Notary hours are typically available all days, nights, and weekends that the library is open; however, please call 847-458-6060 to verify services are available before coming to the library. Please bring a current photo ID with your signature on it, and do not sign the document(s) prior to arriving. Please call or contact us for additional information.
Request an Obituary
Often the missing link or the best starting point for many successful genealogy searches, obituaries are mini-narratives of a person’s life, often highlighting major happenings between the birth and death dates. Our staff is skilled in research and can help you find an obituary to help your family's story unfold. Please fill out the obituary request form.
Teacher Materials Request
Our Youth Services Department can pull materials that may be useful to teachers or their students as they study a particular unit in the classroom. Materials checked out are subject to the same lending limits and fines as other library materials. Patrons are limited to 15 items per request. Please fill out the request form if you’d like to have materials pulled for checkout.
