Welcome

The Library is now open on Sundays from 1-5 PM. The Library building is open to all visitors to browse the collections and check out materials to enjoy at home. We continue to monitor building capacity and ask that visitors take the following precautions when visiting:

  • Keep visits limited to one hour.
  • Wear a face covering at all times.
  • Maintain at least 6 feet apart from others.
  • Accompany children under 13 years of age.
  • Monday-Friday 9-10 AM reserved for vulnerable patrons.

We are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to expand in-person services soon. In the meantime, the drive-up, remote, and virtual services remain available. Thank you for your patience and support! Learn more.

In response to the recent violence directed against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in our nation, the Glenview Public Library reaffirms its stance against racism, misogyny, and hate in all forms. As a civic institution dedicated to enriching lives and welcoming all, we stand in solidarity with individuals who have experienced discrimination and those working to advance social justice through education and engagement. To that end, our staff continues to revise and update a list of anti-racism resources to foster dialogue, encourage compassion, and inspire positive change in our community and beyond. View list here.
