It's a family oriented neighborhood library. Not a good place to study, if that's what you want. Staff is friendly and helpful.

This is the smallest size public library they have small selection of books / No study room the time I was there bathrooms were locked so you have to ask the personnel who is working there to open the doors. The only bad thing about it you have to go around the block so you can enter the door from the back of the school you are not allowed to park in the parking lot because they’re going to tow your car away.

I really like going to this library. The staff is super friendly and kind! I felt so welcomed! If you ask, they will help you find the book you are looking for. Of course, sometimes the book is not available. If that's the case, they will help you put the book on hold from another library.

Yes they do if they are in good condition. Just drop them off in the drop box or walk in and leave them at the front desk and thanks for reading and thanks for your donation. You are a friend of books. Their are also. Churches who help families in need also,who can benefit if you have children books. Just a thought. 🤗 Giving is cool any way shape or how you are you people. Hugs and kisses to you 💋🐾💋

They have a few parking spaces but it's for the staff. The rest is for the school staff. You can park on the side. If you park in the parking lot, your vehicle may get towed.

I don't know whether there's a library link to tickets, but the Field Museum has free admission for Illinois residents on certain days. https://www.fieldmuseum.org/our-events/free-admission-days
