The Grand Avenue location of the Galewood-Mont Clare Library closed in 2010, and is currently at a temporary location with limited resources at the Rutherford Sayre Park Fieldhouse, 6871 W Belden Ave.

There are a number of local residents fighting every day to secure a location and gain funding for a full-fledged library for our community. Contact us (info.galewoodneighbors@gmail.com) and we'll connect you with the right folks.
