It’s still unreal to me that you can have a party at the Library! Seriously though, Night in the Stacks is such a fun way to support the Library.

Michael, 2019 Night in the Stacks attendee

Night in the Stacks was a great time to party with other young professionals who also love all things Library. It was also an amazing way to learn all the important programming that CPLF supports.

Andrew, 2023 Night in the Stacks attendee

Night in the Stacks was a really fun opportunity to see the impact that the Library Foundation has on the Chicago community. We got to connect with other young professionals equally excited about the power of books and libraries!
