Excerpt: The new Glenview Public Library is filled with unique spaces and nooks that beckon visitors to get comfy with a book. It is the type of place where guests can find a special spot complete with lounge chairs or desks, openness or privacy, silence or discussion.
After a decade of planning and more than a month of moving, the Glenview library has established itself in a new, eco-friendly building that seems to dwarf the old building, which is being torn down to create a parking lot. The entrance is decorated with a rotating exhibit of artwork by local artists and the first floor is marked by a giant fireplace, comfy chairs and an atmosphere that encourages talking; upstairs is where visitors will find the classic, hush-hush library experience.
