20th Anniversary of the Library Building

On September 12, 2004, the new library building at 14921 S. Ravinia Avenue opened its doors to welcome everyone to enjoy the state of the art building and the innovative services and programs. The 93,000 square foot building was built following an overwhelming referendum from Orland Park residents who recognized the need for a larger, more technology-based building to meet the needs of the growing Orland Park community.
 
Where has the time gone? Join us during the month of September for events highlighting the construction of the building, the recent renovation project, a recap of the exceptional programming and services throughout the years, and so much more!
