This library is located in Chatham, a neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. In 2018, it underwent a remodel and expansion led by bKL Architecture with Danielle Tillman. It is now home to multiple spaces for a wide audience of Chicagoans such as a makerspace, a classroom, a job training center, and a museum.
A community space that provides innovative technology, a collaborative and engaging space for learning and accessing resources
