From the Great Chicago Fire to the Great Recession, from Snowmageddon to the era of social distancing, it's safe to say Chicago has weathered its share of challenging times. But no matter what comes our way, when Chicagoans come together as a community, we emerge stronger and more connected than before.

For many of us, the world-class services and resources available at Chicago Public Library have helped us stay safe and maintain our community connections. Whether enjoying digital content, picking up an activity kit, or accessing supports to find a jobour Library's free resources and committed librarians have been a lifeline for our city.

Flexible funding from our donor community has enabled CPL staff to quickly respond to our evolving needs so we can continue to rebuild and renew our lives. Your gift of any amount ensures critical Library services remain accessible for all!
