A new 16,000-square-foot, two-story Chinatown Branch opened August 29, 2015, with a partially covered “living” roof, Feng shui-influenced interior design and expansive views of the city.
Library service to the Chinatown community began in 1972 in a small storefront on Wentworth Avenue. An 11,000-square-foot rental facility was dedicated September 28, 1990.
The branch serves as a cultural and information center for those who seek information about the Chinatown community and Chinese culture. Read more

Chinatown Chicago Public library is a great place for all ages to go and visit. New building and the librarian is very nice lady and informative. The first level has conference rooms, children's section and the second floor is for the adults and youth age kids. Computers are on both floors and access to the internet wifi is free.
