I'd like to counter some of the negative comments about the staff. They are NOT rude but very accomodating, helpful and friendly. They are very compassionate and kind towards my 3-year old. The library's resources are awesome. We are a member of the North Suburban library district and we travel 7 miles to use this library. The book choices for children are the best selection of any North Suburban library. They have wonderful games and puzzles (Melissa and Doug, for instance) which can be checked out for a week. Lots of great events for kids and families. It is an incredible place!
I would just like to let everybody to know about the fantastic experiences that we've had at the Glenview public library. Our community is so fortunate to have a beautiful new library like this. The selection is wonderful and the staff is great. I was at the library tonight and a staff member by the name of Amanda J help my children. Amanda was Extremely patient with the children and help them find the books that they were looking for. Amanda made some suggestions on other books that they might like to read which we did end up checking out. Once again we highly recommend that everybody goes to the Glenview public library and take advantage of this beautiful facility.
Wonderful Library! Great staff, facilities and selection!
Children's section- love the idea of checking out games, nice area for kids, good amount of computers, collection is dated.
Online options: Good. They could have more available online but they have good options and selections.
Programs: They lack innovated programming. I see very few STEM classes. While other libraries are getting 3-D printers and focusing on technology, Glenview remains in the past.
I have worked at and visited libraries all over the world. Glenview falls in the middle and for such a well funded library towards the bottom.
Very good staff. Modern library.
Staff: cold until approaching. The staff will help you and they are really knowledgeable. You just have to ask. They will go out of their way to assist you. They even will take a message, research and call you back. Really good people.
Collection: Dated. The collection is very old and they seem to have a very small budget in which to update the collection. I find I am visiting other libraries or interlibrary loaning.

Collection Policies - archaic - I don't think any library should have a collection you have to pay to rent. If the library feels the need to charge, they should eliminate the collection entirely.
Overall, US libraries are the best in the world. Glenview falls short because of the massive budget. The powers above need to visit Mount Prospect, Northbrook, and Ela libraries and take notes in order to modernize policies, programming and the collection.
Facility: Absolutely Beautiful - above average with exception of the teen area, it needs to be bigger.
