We will be closed until 1:00pm on Thursday, September 17th, 2026 as local first responders will be using the Library for part of their Operation Safe Return training.

09/10/2026

On Thursday, September 17, 2026, we will be conducting Operation Safe Return, a scheduled Active Threat Safety Exercise at Giles School, 4251 N Oriole, Norridge, IL 60706.

This exercise will involve multiple jurisdictions and public safety agencies, so residents may notice an increased police and fire presence in the area, including squad cars and personnel from neighboring communities. There may also be temporary street closures nearby.

This is a planned training exercise and NOT a real emergency.

Exercises like this allow our police officers, firefighters, dispatchers, schools, and partner agencies to train together before an emergency ever happens.

Thank you for your patience and support while we work together to keep our communities prepared and safe.

Questions regarding the exercise can be directed to: [email protected]
