Temporary Hours

The Decatur Public Library is NOW OPEN allowing patrons to browse our in-house collection. We are also still offering curbside services.

Along with the DPL collection of resources in-house, we have a wealth of online resources, educational and entertaining, that you can access with your smartphone, tablet, or computer from home with your Decatur Public Library card. Let us know if we can help you get started with those.

Don't have a library card yet? Decatur residents can begin the application process at "Apply Online" or visit our library for a library card. A card holder may also choose an e-card that allows access to our online resources only. All card holders can use any of the vast amounts of online resources found on the Decatur Public Library website.

Questions? Email the library at info@decaturlibrary.org, message us via Facebook Messenger, or call M - F 217-424-2900 during regular business hours. (If we don't have someone there to answer, select option 8 to leave a message, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.)
