Library Shares Resources For Voting, Managing Pandemic
Glenview Public Library is also sharing a calendar of upcoming virtual events.
With positivity rates on the rise, Governor Pritzker recently enacted COVID-19 mitigation measures for our region. At this time, Library services will not be impacted since our safety precautions comply with these measures. Please remember to help the Library monitor building capacity by making a reservation for your one-hour visit and wearing your mask at all times when visiting. Thank you for doing your part to keep our community safe!
