Did you know that . . .<br />
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 led to the<br />
City of Elgin establishing a public library?<br />
After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871,<br />
officials in the country of England mistakenly thought<br />
that the library in Chicago burned down and sent the City<br />
of Chicago 8,000 books. But Chicago did not have a public<br />
library before the fire!<br />
The donation set in motion the passing of an Illinois<br />
state law that authorized tax-supported<br />
libraries. Elgin residents voted to approve<br />
the establishment of a public library in<br />
1872. The Free Public Library of the City<br />
of Elgin opened on March 19, 1874.<br />
