Chinatown Library

The chinatown public library branch is a nice place to read books when you have time on weekends. The environment inside is great with clean seats and many interesting books. English and Chinese books are available here. On you first visit, you need to bring your photo ID with you and by filling a form you can get a Chicago Public Library ID. There are also shared computers for people to use, through which you can find books you want to read. Books can also be available through inter-library sharing.

Really beautiful building with lots of spaces and seats to read, work, or use one of their public computer. Would recommend

Tons of Chinese books, magazines, and audio visual content. Clean library overall. Lots of space for computers and even some study rooms. Lots of windows for natural light. The only issue is that it's a bit small.

Staff really is with chinese backgrounds...a lot of chinese books , the old woman at the top floor really obtuse to let you use the computer for more than 1 hr if you already used for 1 hr, the management should know that in other libraries of the country allow the use of the computer for more than 1 hr, even if you already use it, the staff thinking about this matter really poor, maybe the have a lot of people that use the building and restrooms in a no good way, you need to ring the bell for using the restrooms, really!!??. I was just traveling, don't live at Illinois but like I said poor thinking about that regard

Vividly colorful library with the first floor having a child’s play area and books section. There’s some meeting rooms downstairs too. At the top there’s a section for teen/adults to sit and use computers and librarians to assist you. I will say it’s okay to come with family but it can be a bit distracting for homework depending on the level of noise.

My kids had an amazing time, costumer service is so friendly and kind

Has a public bathroom for all to use. Security black lady was so nice. Library is very quiet and clean.

Top Floor Parking. Working by machine Pay by Credit card only

So warm, open & FRIENDLY! Sometimes Chinese can appear very aloof & cold-especially towards Afro-American males! The Library is a good place- inside, outside,well equipped; clean,comfortable, convenient!

It's a fairly new building with helpful librarians. It's clean.
