Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District Information

The Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District provides exceptional service, reliable information, enriching educational and entertainment programs for all ages, and welcoming spaces for everyone at both the Winnetka Library and Northfield Branch Library. Books, magazines and movies are available for checkout and digital download with a district library card. The Studio at the Winnetka Library features equipment such as 3D printers, a laser engraver, custom embroidery machine and more. In 1884, the Winnetka Public Library was established to serve the intellectual, cultural, and recreational needs of the community. The library converted from a village department to a separate governmental unit in 1974 in order to include Northfield in its tax supported service area. While Kenilworth is not part of the Library District, its residents have been served through a contractual agreement since 1984.
