[excerpt of Library Policy]

Animals are not permitted in the library, except for service animals and service animal trainees or animals participating in a Library-related program.

Patrons bringing unauthorized animals into the library must remove the animal from the building immediately.

Individuals who bring animals on to library property are responsible for cleaning up after said animals.

Support animals often have therapeutic benefits, but they are not trained to perform specific tasks. Under the ADA and Illinois law, public facilities are not required to allow in emotional support animals, only service animals.
