Calling all bookworms, movie buffs, and curious minds: the Gail Borden Public Library isn’t just your average library. Welcoming more than a million visitors annually, it’s a vibrant hub brimming with exciting activities. Explore museum-quality exhibits, participate in innovative programs, and enjoy the extensive collection of books, eBooks, movies, and more – catering to children, teens, and adults alike. Another perk? The library offers a view of the Fox River, where you can catch glimpses of the bald eagles that go soaring by.
Gail Borden Public Library is participating in Explore Elgin Area’s Stick and Stay program to celebrate serving the Elgin area for 40 years. This program allows you to win prizes when you collect 12 stickers from one of the 24 destinations participating in the program. Collect these stickers in person or digitally when you visit the attractions and submit them to the Explore Elgin Area Visitors Center to redeem your prize (as long as supplies last).
For the Stick & Stay Trail, claim your stamp through our Trail App or pick up a physical passport and destination sticker at the main desk at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin.
