Description:
The library first opened its doors to the public on May 1, 1966, when it was housed in the Village Hall on Oak Avenue. With the support of village residents and the efforts of trustees, the library moved to its present facility in 1979. The library doubled its size in 1983 by building the Anne Pote Addition, named after Chicago Ridge's first library director. Initially run by volunteers, the library is now governed by a board of elected trustees that oversees professional librarians and support staff.
