Tucked in the back left corner of the Glenview [Illinois] Public Library, the Genealogy and Local History room is staffed by seven volunteers who keep the room open so visitors can learn about genealogy and Glenview’s history.
The room has materials that were donated in 1968 by Glenview resident Gertrude Lundberg, and volunteers watch over the room and help visitors with any genealogy or local history questions they may have, said Kimberly Schlarman, Glenview Public Library reference librarian and genealogy specialist. One volunteer recently offered to come in over the weekend, giving visitors more access to the room, Schlarman said.
The room is open whenever a volunteer is present during library hours, Schlarman said. But if a volunteer isn’t inside the room, visitors can come during regular library hours and ask a librarian to pull material from the room, she said.
The library is located at:
1930 Glenview Road
Glenview, IL 60025
