About Programs The Center Stories Donate Hi there, President Obama’s love for reading will show up at the Obama Presidential Center when we open the newest branch of the Chicago Public Library! In addition to checking out some of President Obama’s book picks, visitors will be able to take advantage of interactive digital media spaces and amenities for children, informational and vocational resources for adults, and a reading room for all to enjoy. This unique partnership will increase access and assure that more South Side residents will be within walking distance of a public library. Take a sneak peek at the newest Chicago Public Library branch here: In communities across the country and around the world, libraries offer essential services to neighbors and act as hubs for civic engagement. Opening a public library on the Obama Presidential Center campus is also an important continuation of President Obama and Mrs. Obama’s commitment to ensuring open access to knowledge and information. If you, like us here at the Obama Foundation, are enthusiastic library patrons, we’d love to hear from you! Take a moment to share a book you’re excited to check out, a recent favorite read, or other ways you take advantage of library services in your area: Share your responses –The Obama Foundation   DONATE NOW ⓒ 2024 Obama Foundation
