Even tho this is an old fashioned store front postage stamp sized library. it packs a lot. Maybe these attributes are what is so good about this place. There is a reading room in the back that is quite peaceful. There are computers in the front. And their current reading books are current. One thing that I do miss is in the past the library held job networking fairs and computer classes and had more programs. Also they had homework help for young students in the area. They no longer offer those programs and that is unfortunate.

It appears deceptively small when you’re passing by on Grand, but I think this library does alright for the little space it has. Computers work really well if you need to go online, and the selection of books, magazines, etc. appeared to be decent for a library this size. And like another person said, there is a reading room in the back of this library. Staff is pretty friendly here, as well.
Might be the smallest library in the suburbs for all I know, but it does its job fine for being limited to a building this size.

In an era before tremendous public debt most libraries were small like this. Not much of a library but then again River Grove is not much of a town. There are like four isles and all the books look old. Perhaps better off closed with the government shutdown.

Any book you want, they can bring in through the SWAN system. There’s some fantastic programs and events for kids. Whomever is picking their new releases is a frigging genious, especially the new non-​fiction. The space is small, but well organized, and they are providing free internet access to half the town judging by the queue of people locked to the west wall every day.

I went here for the census job application. This library has got to be the worst library ever. Small one floor library, the size of a shoe box. The old hens that work here very unprofessional they were yelling at the census woman for a small little mistake that her boss made. And yelling at her infront of the applicants while we were testing. There’s a better and professional library Elmwood Park your better off there. Also a better book selection at Elmwood Park. River Grove needs to find professional libraians and get rid of the ones that they have.
