The Eureka Public Library District includes all property within Olio and Cruger townships. If you are unsure whether you live or own property within one of those townships, you can check your property tax bill, your voter registration card, or a township map. You can also check Illinois Library Service Areas Map (https://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/library/libraries/library_service_areas.html) to determine if you live in a library district. ​
