This summer, more than a thousand people contributed to our community art project! Together, we transformed the giant letters on the third floor from blank white to confetti-colorful. Come see the finished piece through the north windows of the library lobby.
Starting May 1st, Des Plaines Public Library is joining hundreds of libraries across the United States, and 23 other libraries in our local CCS consortium, in eliminating overdue fines!
We look forward to welcoming past users back and meeting new members of the community!
Here’s how the library staff made it a little brighter.
All while reducing expenses by almost half a million dollars in supplies, staffing, and other pandemic economies, and without raising the tax levy in 2021!
