Little Italy / Near West Side · Directions
CPL’s opening record documents an Early Learning Play Space designed to help caregivers build literacy through play and an open children’s area with natural light.
The library’s co-location with Taylor Street Apartments makes it a distinctive community-anchor design; its teen YOUmedia is currently listed as temporarily closed and is not a decision fact here.
