Homer Township Public Library<br />
The Homer Township Public Library prides itself<br />
on excellence in customer service. Located at 14320<br />
West 151st Street in Homer Glen, it offers opportunities for<br />
life-long learning for all ages, in a 24,000 square foot building<br />
that was recently expanded. Automatic entry doors provide<br />
convenient access, as do wider book aisles, with many popular<br />
areas to read, sit and relax or meet and greet others.<br />
Visitors will find a 24-computer area, six study rooms, a Teen<br />
Room, Sunroom, Family Activity Room, Community Room,<br />
and a Heroes Quiet Reading room with fireplace-- all featured<br />
in a bright and inviting energy efficient space. The expansion<br />
project was self-funded at no taxpayer cost through conservative<br />
budget management and grants. Friendly staff members<br />
are ready to provide a positive library experience and the assistance<br />
that you need.<br />
Open seven days a week, Homer Library offers you more<br />
space to appreciate the things you love @ your library. Enjoy<br />
free DVD movies, read a magazine, check out that brand new<br />
bestseller, take a free class or program, register your child for<br />
a fun free event, join one of our clubs, save money, and benefit<br />
from what your library offers.<br />
With a customer friendly staff we offer a wide variety of<br />
programs, including Polish/English Story Time, Wiggles ‘n<br />
Giggles preschool time, Teen Intern Program, and many book<br />
discussion clubs. Highly utilized programs include Armchair<br />
Travelers, Knitting Club, Cooking Classes, Yoga, Bingo, Star<br />
Wars, and other educational and inviting programs.<br />
Happy 10th Anniversary Homer Bookmobile!<br />
The bookmobile has 5,000 items and makes 37 stops weekly<br />
bringing items directly into community areas. With its<br />
colorful design the customized bus is a favorite in extending<br />
services, books, and programs.<br />
Homer Library continues to be a community gathering space,<br />
social destination, and a haven where information can be<br />
accessed by everyone. Learning continues at every age and<br />
stage in a person’s life and your library is here for you. Homer<br />
