December 1999 events in the Main Library Project

Referendum Process Begins
In December 1999, the Oak Park Public Library's Board of Trustees took an important step toward relieving the crowded conditions at the Main Library and toward accelerating the pace of repairs at the 63-year-old Maze Branch Library. And yes -- the plan even addresses the difficult problem of parking around the Main Library! The Board voted unanimously to ask Oak Park voters to approve spending $30 million to build a new main library building and to accelerate the rate of repairs at the Maze Branch Library.
