Culture in Prospect Heights

The gilded limestone building at the corner of Grand Army Plaza, with the bronze figures across the front and a reading floor that anyone can sit on without a card. There is an exhibition space off the lobby and a café inside. It is open until nine Monday through Thursday, which is unusual for a library and useful for an evening door.

Mon to Thu, 9am to 9pm. Fri and Sat, 9am to 6pm. Sun, 1pm to 5pm
