Librarians offer books at Lee Street beach

The Evanston Public Library is a resource hub for our diverse community. Our Librarians and support staff increase literacy of all kinds through more than 1,000 programs every year for all ages – from beloved story times to workshops that connect residents to critical resources, from housing to healthcare.

 

For example, during this week alone you can pick up a craft kit at the Robert Crown branch, take the next step in your career at the Fleetwood Jourdain Community Center with our partner Oakton Community College, join the Anime Club in the Teen Loft, attend a story time at the Main branch, plus so much more. And you can always check out a book or take part in any of the everyday services provided by the Library.

The Evanston Public Library is not just a special place in this community, but a vital resource for so many people – and it’s all made available for free. Of course, this is not done individually, but collectively. We all decide how large of a place our library has in Evanston.

Unfortunately, the Library’s expenses are not covered by taxes alone. We must increase our philanthropic support if we want to not only continue offering all of EPL’s amazing programs and services, but to grow our capacity and offer even more. A gift of any size makes a difference; please consider donating today.

Yes I want to give!

Thank you!


Together we are the Library!

For almost 150 years, the Library has provided educational, culturally-rich resources for all residents, helped children prepare for school through the joys of reading and learning, celebrated Evanston’s diversity, and helped residents find information they seek. The Library is more than a building of books; it is a place to meet, connect, learn, and explore. To learn more, visit www.epl.org.
