Poplar Creek Public Library District is a public library in Illinois, which serves residents of Streamwood, Hanover Park, Elgin, Schaumburg, and Bartlett. Created by a 1966 referendum in Streamwood, it currently has one main Streamwood facility and one Hanover Park branch. It serves 66,000 residents, though many of its towns are served only in-part by Poplar Creek, with other residents being patrons of the Schaumburg Township District Library, Gail Borden Public Library District, or the Bartlett Public Library District.
Poplar Creek Library became a United States Federal and State document depository in 1980. Its collection contains approximately 160,000 books and 19,000 other items. It is a member of the DuPage Library System.
In 2009, an expansion and renovation of the facility was designed by Lonn Frye and AJ Rosales of Frye Gillan Molinaro Architects.[1] This expanded facility has been the recipient of a 2009 GE Edison Award of Merit,[2] a 2010 AIA Chicago Design Excellence Award for Interior Architecture,[3] and it was also awarded the title of #1 New Landmark Library in May 2011 by Library Journal Magazine.[4]
The Sonya Crawshaw Branch Library in Hanover Park was completely renovated and expanded in 2013. Itasca, Illinois based Williams Architects was the architect for the project.
