These days they aren't interested in the library programming, but I find myself stopping here often to pick up books for them. I typically reserve the book ahead of time and then they have it waiting for me by the front desk to check out. It's beyond easy and never takes more than a few minutes to check out the latest novel on their wish list. And the best part- it's free! Returning the book is even easier since they have a drop attached to the outside of the library so i don't even have to go inside. While I"m a big reader myself I prefer to ready on my kindle so I borrow all my books thru the libby app, but love having this amazing library nearby for my kids!

The children's area is thoughtfully designed with plenty of space for kids to explore, read, play, and learn. I especially like that it's not too crowded, creating a calm environment where children can focus and use their imagination. The staff are always kind, friendly, and happy to help. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to read, study, or spend time with your family, this library is a wonderful choice. I look forward to visiting again.

On my last visit here, I learned about GPL's used book store. Thanks to my two grand-darlings who…read moreare somewhat regular visitors, they told me about it. I never even noticed it before, but it's located right by the main entrance, in a somewhat easy to miss nook (that's my official excuse anyway lol). All of the materials are donated, and they are organized and priced by volunteer staffers. All of the proceeds go to the library. I picked up a fun hard cover book on baseball humor for $4. They also had a March 1/2 price sale going on landscaping, gardening, and cookbooks. One of the grand-darlings picked up a cookbook and I paid $1 for it, and then she gifted it to grandma, duh! They also have music CD's and even some vinyl records and I'll check out the music selections on my next visit. Thumbs up!

The reference staff workers at this library are always kind, helpful, professional, and enjoyable to talk to. The library has a great atmosphere, and has excellent reading and work spaces. Winnetka Public Library has helped me discover and locate historical records that have been immensely important for my Illinois genealogical and historical research and writing work. Thank you to Winnetka Public Library and its wonderful staff of librarians for being a superb helper and advisor to me in my work. Thank you all for being a wonderful part of the Winnetka community and of the Chicagoland community. I look forward to many more great times with you all! God bless.

The Book Stall has everything and something for everyone. If they don't have it they'll order it and call you when it comes in. They carry all the books district 36 and New Trier English students are reading in a special section, they have staff favorites, book club selections, and a great stock of fiction, nonfiction, biography, autobiography, history, sports, young adult, kids, psychology, parenting, travel, cooking, etc. They carry stationery, cards, journals, small gifts like scarves, pens, novelty socks, bookmarks, and toys, they run a weekly book club, they host dozens of authors and book discussions every year, they gift wrap, and they know what they're talking about when it comes to books. They host a publishers rep night that shouldn't be missed and they work with local schools to raise money. Simply put, all bookstores should be just like this one. It's a hub in our community and I'd much rather shop here than at the big chain stores.

I'm not sure if I'd heard of The Book Stall before. I learned that the children's author Sherri…read moreDuskey Rinker, who happens to live in the suburbs, is doing story time events at several suburban bookstores to celebrate the release of her newest book. My daughter is a big fan of her Construction Site and Steam Train Dream Train series, so I was excited to bring her here for the event. We got here a little too early--about five minutes before they opened, and 35 minutes before story time--but I wanted to make sure we got a spot! The area where they hold story time was really large for an independent bookstore. After the story was over, the author personalized her signed books for the kids. I'm glad we went to this event because in addition to it being fun, we picked up several books and one of them has so quickly become a new favorite of my daughter's that she already can recite pages from it three days later. The bookstore is nice, and larger than I was expecting to be honest. It was fun to wander, even whilst trying to keep an eye on a toddler. They have various events, story time, fundraisers, and so on. I think it has the potential to be kind of a madhouse for some of their bigger events... it seemed a little unorganized getting folks in line for this signing and they don't really have a lot of space for folks to queue up so some people were cutting in front of folks so it might be kind of messy when there's a big event happening. But still, worth a stop if you like bookstores! There's lots of parking around on the street and even a municipal lot.

No matter how minor my question or how pleasant my tone, I have been met with unnecessary rudeness and coldness every single time. I hate to use the word "Karen" but it fits. Extremely rude women work here as admins, acting and speaking with more authority than they have, and communicating in a tone that is just uncalled for. They are strangely defensive and emotionally charged. One woman even had a "scolding" tone that she maintained for the duration of our call, even when I was only asking the most basic of questions about a permit. This is how the people who work at the village treat their residents? Shame that this is where our sky high property taxes go. So much for creating a sense of community! Do better Glenview!
