Current Grants

Youth Services Play Space is officially open!

Thank you to our donors, community partners, and everyone who joined us for the ribboncutting celebration for the Library’s new play space. We are thrilled to have helped fund the transformation of the children’s area into a vibrant place for learning and play—the first major update to the department since the library was built in 2010.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Foundation also proudly supports two signature Library programs each year:

Glenview Reads Together: $9,000

In April, the Library welcomed author Nickolas Butler for a community conversation about A Forty Year Kiss, this year’s Glenview Reads Together selection. The event, supported by the Glenview Public Library Foundation, drew a crowd of enthusiastic readers. Our special  luncheon also gave a small group of book lovers the chance to hear more about Butler’s writing process.

Special thanks to Vittoria Logli for sponsoring the luncheon.

Summer Reading Program: $3,000

A favorite tradition for readers of all ages, the Summer Reading Program helps students maintain their literacy skills over the summer while inspiring a love of reading at every level.

Special thanks to Glenview Bank & Trust, A WinTrust Community Bank, for sponsoring the program.
