Oak Park Public Library
Company Overview
Founded as a public library in 1903, the Oak Park Public Library exists to empower every voice in our community. Governed by a board of seven elected officials, the library serves Oak Park’s 52,000 residents residing in its 4-square-mile village through the leadership and expertise of about 100 full-time equivalent employees.
With an operating budget of $12 million, the library shares information, services, and opportunities to help fulfill Oak Park's aspirations through its three physical buildings, digitally through oppl.org, and at external community locations.
Staff use public knowledge about community aspirations to set strategic priorities of equity & anti-racism, engagement, learning, and stewardship and to guide everyday work. Learn more at oppl.org/about.
