Notary Services at Chillicothe Public Library
The Chillicothe Public Library now offers Notary Services to our library patrons free of charge. You must call ahead to the library to be sure that the Notary is on duty at the specific time that you plan to use the service.
Requirements for the use of Notary Services are:
- You MUST CALL 309-274-2719 and make an appointment with the Notary. Same day appointments are normally not a problem, but please call first.
- Look over your documents to be sure you have done everything required.
- Bring a picture ID with you as well as another current form of identification. You must have 2 forms of ID. (An example would be a drivers license or state ID and a FOID card, Military ID, Passport, Credit or Debit card with your name on it or a Check book with your name and address.)
- Do not sign anything until the Notary is present.
- If you need witnesses bring them along with you.
- When you arrive at the library there may be a short wait until the Notary is able to leave other duties to offer you Notary service.
Notary Service is available to the public:
Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

Newly Available at the Chillicothe Public Library!
Book Series Binders
We've all been there. You just discover an older series of books written by your favorite author, and the Library has all of them! But wait... what order do they go in? How will you know which ones are available and in which order they should be read?
Well with our new Book Series Binders it's no problem. The Binders are located in the fiction section next to the authors that they showcase.
Looking for the next book in a series by J.D. Robb? Just go to the section of fiction where her books are found and you will see a Black Binder with her name on the spine. That Binder will outline all of that author's series'. It's that simple.
Several are already available on the shelf, and more will be added for many popular authors including,
James Patterson
John Sanford
Robert Parker
J.D. Robb
Stuart Woods
and MANY MORE!
Stop in to the library to day and ask a staff member about our Book Series Binders!

-Recycling at the Chillicothe Public Library-
For More Information on Area Recycling and Drop Off Locations Visit http://www.peoriacounty.org/recycle
The Chillicothe Public Library staff would like to thank Dan Johnson for volunteering to clean up the garbage left and blown around the Recycle Dumpsters. Dan is the man who some of you have seen using a sledge hammer to pound down the overfill and picks up the blown debri. Thanks also to Hassen Drissi, who stomps the contents of the containers so that more recycle materials can be left in the bins.
If it were not for the these two gentlemen, the program would have ended months ago. They make it possible for you to recycle. Next time you see them volunteering - help them by not overfilling the bins - and thank them for their services.

Their mission: To make learning and writing more fun and relevant for students in the digital age.
Shmoop content is written primarily by Ph.D. and Masters students from top universities, like Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, and Yale. Many of their writers have taught at the high school and college levels. They hold themselves to the highest academic standards. They source their work (see the "Citations" tab in each history section, or in-line citation links throughout their literature and poetry content). Teachers and students should feel confident to cite Shmoop as a source in essays and papers.
