History
Established in 1916.
On June 20, 1916, a public library formally opened in two rooms on the second floor of the Forest Park Village Hall. Miss Mildred Powell assumed charge of the collection of 2,000 books. For over 90 years, the Library has continued to grow to meet the needs of the Forest Park community. The current library building, covering 26,400 square feet on two levels, opened on October 8, 1995. It houses a circulating collection of over 72,000 books, CDs, DVDs, and video games.
