This is a live camera of an eagle's nest in Iowa. It is nature in action so once the eggs hatch the parents will bring food to the nest and you watch the eagles grow and parents care for them. This is here because the kids always ask about the eagles as I have shown them for many years. Eggs are due to hatch the first week in April!

Chicken Little

A modern adaptation of the classic tale: What happens when a completely normal chicken believes everything he reads on the internet? This story is written in the present tense, because it's a good thing to learn.

The Bird and the Whale

Our first ever original story, about a bird and a whale and their shared love of little fish. Inspired by a song by Tom Waits, and an episode of Adventure Time.

The Three Little Pigs

The classic tale of shoddy building materials, DIY folly, and the perils of emparedados de tocino (a.k.a bacon sandwiches). No pigs or wolves were harmed in the making of this story.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Why you should probably lock your door when you go out for a walk, even if you live en medio de un gran bosque. Why are the three bowls of sopa different temperatures when they were poured at the same time? Science, is why.

Little Red Riding Hood

A deeply troubling investigation into what happens when you let your children walk somewhere alone: Caperucita Roja eats fresas, picks margaritas and talks to el Gran Lobo Feroz on the way to Grandma's house. (Warning: Contains highly improbable medical scenes.)

Famous people reading aloud their favorites!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A good book is like a secret door, a long-haired children's author once told a TED talk crowd (Mac, it was Mac Barnett), and famous authors, illustrators, celebrities, and educators are providing a (virtual) escape from our apartments and homes during the weeks-long shut-in with live and/or online readings and storytelling sessions. Many of Romper's favorite authors and illustrators, from Josh Gad and Mac Barnett to Oge Mora, Annie Barrows, Eva Chen, Sophie Blackall, Rowboat Watkins, and Jan Brett have taken to the internet to perform, or picked up the torch of what we're calling "Operation Storytime," reading their stories online for your (kids') enjoyment. It's basically like Yo-Yo Ma decided to give a backyard concert over the fence.

You can find more by searching the # OperationStorytime hashtag on social media, and here at Romper we're rounding up all the famous-es reading children's books, that we might make lemonade with the present moment (thus warding off scurvy) and amass a library of stories to share with our kids. Check back as more storytellers support the effort, follow and send your heart-eye emojis to the ones who steal your heart, order the books you like, and visit your local bookstore once this is all over and we all get our bodies back.

Oge Mora Reading Saturday

The beloved "collage enthusiast" and author of Thank You, Omu! is reading , in which a mother and daughter try to pack as much fun into the one day they get together as possible - then find their plans are ruined.

If it all gets too much, just remember: "Phew!" Let it go.

We would describe , a quiet story about a mermaid who wants more responsibility after her mother entrusts her with the care of a single grain of sand, as ASMR for adults and children alike.

We cannot with Rowboat's tinkly storytime music at the beginning of his reading of a miniature copy of Most Marshmallows.

Brooke Smith Reading The Keeper Of Wild Words

If you haven't picked up a copy of The Keeper of Wild Words, a time in which you are committed to circling your garden 800 times or so is ideal for dipping into the book.

If you live outside the Schaumburg Library service area, you may be able to borrow materials with a valid card from your home library. Call the Registration Desk at (847) 923-3160 to find out if we have a reciprocal borrowing arrangement with your library.

We'll need to verify your library card, so make sure you stop by during your home library's business hours.

Non-Resident Homeowners/Renters

If you live in an unincorporated area outside of our District, you may be able to purchase a 1-year, full-service, non-resident Library card (as permitted under applicable state laws and regulations) for an annual fee. Eligibility is based on the school district of your residency. For assistance, please contact our Registration Desk at (847) 923-3160 or @email

You will need:

A current and valid photo ID.

A copy of your most recent tax bill (home-owners) or lease agreement (renters).

To calculate your fee:

Homeowners: Multiply the equalized assessed value (EAV) on your tax bill by .00294 (the Library District's current tax rate is 0.294%). Or, enter your EAV below and we'll calculate your fee for you.

We use a system of solar-powered cameras to locate and monitor the elephants and to offer you, our friends and supporters, frequent glimpses of the elephants we are so fortunate to have in our care.

Increasing public knowledge is key to creating a world where elephants no longer live under constant threat of poaching, habitat loss, conflict, or capture. The Elephant Discovery Center offers hands-on self-guided exhibits and educational programming that explores the many ways elephants shape our world.

The elephants' habitats are closed to the public. Visitors to The Discovery Center will not see or interact with elephants.

Virtual Education

Distance Learning

Online learning is a fantastic way to virtually explore the world while still maintaining the health of your family and community during this time of social distancing. The Elephant Sanctuary's Education Team offers Distance Learning programs throughout the year to teachers, classrooms, libraries, and community groups.

The elephants' habitats are closed to the public. Visitors to The Discovery Center will not see or interact with elephants.
