Construction for the kids section is complete!
Staff is very friendly, always willing to help.
The architecture from the outside is unique and beautiful. It has this classic Glen-Ellyn look to it. But don’t judge a book by its cover (pun intended hehe). The inside is updated and modern. And although it’s on the small-side, it has everything you need from a library: study rooms, great selection of books, ample study tables, music selection, up to date magazines and newspapers, newly renovated kids section, and computers. I want to say «come one, come all!», but then it might get too crowded. But, in all seriousness, this library is quite nice and you won’t be disappointed.

Currently under construction so children’s area is all but dismantled. Staff downstairs is generally friendly. Staff upstairs are terse when you ask questions. Nice seating areas for working and usually pretty quiet. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of books; adult fiction and non are limited to an upstairs ¹⁄₃ of the floor. They do have quite a few computers to use and good movie selection.

Very disappointed in the staff. In the children’s area the staff is often crabby as well as the front desk being unhelpful and moody. Not all of the employees but enough to make it unpleasant.

I have always been an avid lover of libraries. I grew up in a small town and had a little dinky library but I still loved visiting. Moving to a much larger suburb has introduced to a whole other kind of library.
The Glen Ellyn library is good sized and I think there collection is fairly good-sized as well. They just went through some remodeling and that process was kind of an ordeal and sections were moved around and kind of a pain to find, but the end result is nice.
I mentioned the collection here is good-sized but I do feel like they could do a little better in this department. I know when you look up a book in the system they also list the book at a few other libraries including Batavia, Bloomingdale, ST. Charles and Villa Park plus others. So I think it is easy to also get books from those libraries but I have no experience with that. I previously lived in Arlington Heights and that library was amazing so this one kind of pales in comparison.

Gorgeous library! It looks like a mansion from the outside! I appreciate that their children section is downstairs and the adults are upstairs. My boyfriend and I get movies here all the time. They are not a typical library that has movies from only the 80’s, they have movies that just recently came out such as les miserable. I am so grateful to live right down the street!

I work with children and often depend on the libraries nearby to fill rainy days. While the staff in the children’s department are always helpful and friendly I find their programs to be lacking. Story time is offered on a limited basis and crafts are only once a month. I am completely spoiled by the amazing children’s department of the Naperville Public Library that offers crafts one or two times a day, but crafts only once a month?
The one thing I do love is that you can check out a canvas bag with a zipper with your books. Very convenient to not only carry the books but to keep track of them at home.

This library offers a lot of programming and a fairly good selection of books, technology, etc. They have an e-reader «petting zoo» that allows patrons to become familiar with various e reader devices. Their youth department has an extremely wide selection of books, audiobooks, dvds, and games — however a little dated. The upstairs needs a little work with their selection and theft management of games.

The staff at the library is extremely friendly and helpful (and being a librarian, this is important to me). I mainly check out books so I can’t comment on their other collections but I find the adult fiction and non-fiction collections to be somewhat lacking for a suburban library. I realize that they aren’t as big as some of the big players in the NW burbs (and as a result don’t have as large a budget) but I think they need to seriously take a look at their collection policies.
They often have excellent programs and I also enjoy their book discussion group when I have the opportunity.
Overall, I am proud to have this library in my town. The staff is receptive, the building is usually quiet, and what they lack in collection can usually be obtained via ILL.

Sometimes, I’ll bike over to Glen Ellyn’s library as it’s right off of the Prairie Path trail.
The best thing about this library is that they allow you get into the CDs for free. If you’re studying and would like to listen to some tunes, they won’t charge you like the other libraries in the area do.
That being said, the library isn’t particularly large and it’s not the cleanest or best-lit place. It’s just your stereotypical old, neighborhood library — the type you expect to see on old TV shows. Except they don’t nickel-and-dime their patrons and Wally Beaver very much appreciates that.
