Helen M. Plum Memorial Library

The Helen M. Plum Memorial Library is a public library in Lombard housed in a modern two-story building on South Main Street. The facility offers extensive book and digital collections alongside technology classes and language learning programs for the community.

Colonel William R. Plum founded the library in 1927, initially keeping collections in his private home before moving to a dedicated building in 1963. The institution has served the local community as a gathering place for nearly a century.

The library houses the Muslim Journeys Bookshelf collection acquired in 2013, which shares educational resources about Muslim culture and history across America. This collection opens conversations about different traditions and perspectives in the community.

The building is easily accessible with parking available nearby for visitors using its various services. The South Main Street location makes it simple to reach by public transportation or on foot.

The building underwent complete reconstruction in 2023, replacing the old structure with an entirely new modern facility. This transformation demonstrates the community's ongoing commitment to updating public gathering spaces.
