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.

Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble 🫧

Keep the spooky October vibes going with a dramatic theatrical reading of Macbeth with The Shakespeare Project of Chicago. Rediscover the timeless tale of power, fate, and the choices that can lead to ruin – and a couple witches, too.

Tuesday, October 27, 6:30-8:30 PM at the Library. Register online: https://glenviewpl.bibliocommons.com/events/6a2b62ddf56bd86e00b642fe

This fall we kicked off our Spice and Mystery Clubs - and they're quite popular!

Our Mystery Club puts your detectives skills to the test with a new mystery each month. Pick up a case file, solve the clues, and submit your answer for a chance to win a prize. September's winners were Kerry and Annie Stevens, who successfully completed The Curse of the Pharaoh! 🕵️

Our Spice Club features a new spice every month, and comes with a kit of recipes, book recommendations, and interesting facts to inspire your next meal. September's spice was nutmeg, and Debbie Gehring used her nutmeg to spice up an Olive Oil Cake with orange and almonds. If only she'd made enough for the whole Library... 👨‍🍳

Keep an eye out for future Mystery and Spice Club kits coming up in the winter!
