Eisenhower Public Library District

Eisenhower Public Library District is a library facility in Harwood Heights with dedicated sections for children, study rooms, a computer lab, and a historical display area. The building provides access to computers with Microsoft Office, free Wi-Fi, and digital resources through its website and mobile app.

The library began operating in 1972 from a basement location at Parkway Towers apartment complex and initially used a bookmobile to serve schools and churches in the community. Over time it developed into a dedicated library building.

The library hosts educational seminars, writing groups, and reading programs throughout the year that bring together visitors of different ages and interests.

The building is well-organized with clearly marked areas for different needs and age groups, making navigation straightforward. Visitors should plan their visits during less busy periods if they want to use specific facilities or study spaces comfortably.

The 2008 building earned LEED Silver certification for its environmental design, showing how libraries can be built with energy efficiency in mind. A dedicated Kids World space caters to younger visitors from early ages through fifth grade.
