Glenview Public Library Spark Your Curiosity
We make the power of knowledge, information, and discovery accessible to all people.

Founded by a group of visionaries in the midst of the Great Depression, the Glenview Public Library has spread its roots in the same corner of downtown Glenview since 1930. The new 85,000 square foot state-of-the art library facility opened its doors in October 2010.
