Skokie Public Library has been serving the community of Skokie, Illinois, since 1929.In 2008, the library received the National Medal for Museum and Library Service for outstanding community service.The Skokie Public Library offers a range of free online resources that could be used for research, learning, and informational needs. The Skokie Public Library transitioned to a digital reference collection, and now uses the superfluous space as an office suite that is lent hourly to patrons. This allows patrons with start-ups the opportunity to meet with clients. The space contains three rooms, is equipped with WiFi, can accommodate up to fifty people, and opened in November 2012. Its other spaces include an auditorium that seats two hundred and study rooms for both youth and adult patrons. In January 2020, the library began renovations to its building. This work improved accessibility, as well as adding more community meeting rooms, an adult makerspace, inclusive restrooms, and more comfortable seating areas and study spaces. The renovation is scheduled to be completed in early 2021.
