Glenview Public Library Building To Remain Closed Until Further Notice
"Although we want to reopen the building as badly as you do, we must put health and safety first and only reopen when it is safe to do so."
Dear Glenview:
For the health and safety of our community and staff, the Library building will remain temporarily closed to the public until further notice. We will continue to monitor the positivity rate of COVID-19 in our region closely and follow recommendations made by Governor Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Public Health. Although we want to reopen the building as badly as you do, we must put health and safety first and only reopen when it is safe to do so.
