Library History

In 1884, the Winnetka Public Library was established to serve the intellectual, cultural, and recreational needs of the community. The library converted from a village department to a separate governmental unit in 1974 in order to include Northfield in its tax supported service area. While Kenilworth is not part of the Library District, its residents have been served through a contractual agreement since 1984.

Mission Statement

The Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District is dedicated to providing access to materials and services to meet the informational, cultural and educational needs of every resident in the District.
