Support community connections and learning in Oak Park

Generous gifts for special programs and projects help support the library's mission to "provide opportunities for lifelong learning by creating spaces and opportunities to connect and engage, and by fostering a love of reading and a commitment to literacy."

How you can help

It’s through the help of individual donors like you that the library is able to fund innovative projects and programs.

Honor loved ones and personal milestones
