Oriole Park Branch

The Oriole Park Branch is another new addition to the CPL newest 50 library buildings, LEED certified, in a quiet cul-de-sac across from a large playground and Park District facility.  Beautiful inside with murals below the clerestory windows that bring in light, even on a very cloudy, rainy early spring day.
The mural paintings by Elaine Pawlowicz, highlight the cultural demographics and historical elements of the  Northwest side Oriole Park community.
Busy, and full of patrons this day, it has a welcoming and sunny vibe.
The kid's section was substantial and  separated from the main room with a cozy batch of small tables, book displays, and media.
You can find "classics" in their own section, with multiple copies of literary works and Library of America editions. I have never seen this way of shelving the literary canon separate from a fiction section.  Better check with some of my library geek friends to find out how commonplace this may be.
