Why We Love Chicago Public Library
Naming the reasons why we love our beloved public library – from protecting our freedom to read to providing access to various free library resources.

Thanks to CyberNavigator Amy, patrons start using the computer and the Internet with confidence.
From free computer courses to building websites, Michael is helping adult patrons in Chicago Public Library thrive in our increasingly digital world.
Usually, patrons tried looking for jobs on their own, going from one company to the next, resume in hand only to receive the same response. Please apply online. For people with limited access and experience with computers, hearing these words meant their path to employment became more challenging. So, they head to the Library for help.
The Library’s story extends beyond the pages of its books. It is a patchwork of stories of children hungry to learn, of teens exploring the world around them, men and women pursuing lifelong learning and better futures, of seniors excited to learn to use computers for the first time, families creating memories over books and toys, immigrants learning to read and write…it is a story of a vibrant community. You. Me. Us. We are part of Chicago Public Library’s rich and thriving story.
Age is just a number! Chicago Public Library believes that age is not a barrier to learning and thriving in the 21st century.
