Using the Library

Using the Library

We want to make it as convenient as possible for you to use the Dixon Public Library. We have a large and varied collection of books and magazines, along with an exciting collection of online services. Our friendly staff are here to help you find just what you're looking for, whether it's that next great book, an article to help you with a research project, or a helping hand with your job search.

The library is funded primarily through property taxes. People who reside within the city limits or Dixon may apply for a card at no charge. People who live outside the city limits are charged an annual fee of $80 per household (as of 1/1/24). Library cards are useable reciprocally at most public libraries in Illinois.
