Thanksgiving 2017: What's Open, Closed In Tinley Park

TINLEY PARK, IL — In simpler times, the Thanksgiving holiday meant government offices and the majority of businesses around town would be closed Thursday, and retailers — as well as customers — would be ready to begin the holiday shopping Friday. But with online shopping, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and everything in between, it's hard to know what's open and what's closed for Thanksgiving.

This year, the holiday falls on Nov. 23, and Patch takes a look at which institutions and services will be closed Thursday, Friday and other days affected by Thanksgiving this year:

Village Government: Village Hall and village offices will be closed Thursday, as well as Friday. Federal, state and county offices also will be closed Thursday and Friday.

Schools: No classes for Kirby School District 140, Arbor Park School District 145, Community Consolidated School District 146, Elementary School District 159, Summit Hill School District 161, Lincoln-Way High School District 210, Bremen High School District 228 and Consolidated School District 230.

Tinley Park Public Library: The library will be closed Thursday, but it will be open regular hours Friday and during the weekend.

Tinley Park-Park District: The pool at the Tinley Fitness, 8125 W. 171st St., will be closed through Friday, Nov. 24, for maintenance. Go to the district's website for more information.
