Our History:
The Divernon Township Library began as a volunteer lending library started by the Divernon Women’s Club in 1966.
The Divernon community was quick to rally around the growing new library by donating books, shelves, and desks.
The library continued to expand and the residents of Divernon voted to officially incorporate the Divernon Township Library in 1967.
The library continued to thrive through the efforts of dedicated volunteers until 1974 when the growing demand for the library’s services made it possible to hire a part-time staff.
The library went through its latest major change in 1999 when it expanded to fill its current building.
Our collection:
The Divernon Township Library has joined forces with the Illinois Heartland Library System to grant its patrons access to books, audio books, DVDs, Blu-rays, and video games from libraries all over the state.
This program ensures that Divernon residents have access to an enormous catalog of items which they can order online or in person and have shipped directly to the library for free.
The library’s partnership with the Illinois Heartland Library System has also granted us access to an ever-growing catalog of eBooks and online audiobooks.
These items are free for patrons to check out and read or listen to on any of their own devices which support the CloudLibrary app.
