Albany Park Library is a branch of the Chicago Public Library located at 3401 W. Foster Ave. in the North Park neighborhood of Chicago, in the U.S. state of Illinois. It was opened in 1963[1] to serve both the Albany Park and North Park areas of Chicago, and is ADA compliant. It currently holds large collections of Korean and Spanish language materials.[1]
Renovation
In 2012 the Albany Park Library received funding to begin a $15 million renovation of their 50-year-old building. Notices were put up in June for residents of the area to use the nearby library at Northeastern Illinois University, and a bookmobile route of the city made sure to include the North Park section of Chicago on its route.[2][3][4]
Construction of the new facility took just under two years, opening on September 13, 2014.[5] With an increase of 6,000 feet, additional space for a computer room, and expanded stacks for book storage, the mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel declared the branch "the new gold standard" for libraries in the city.[6] One of the key features to the new library was a learning space built for toddlers, and since its creation picture book collection of the branch has grown by 30%.[6]
