The Indian Prairie Public Library, founded in 1988, has a fresh look thanks to a renovation completed in November 2010. The highly trafficked library -- hosting more than 6.5 million visitors since it opened in 1996 -- responded to its patrons' requests by adding more seating, new light fixtures and creating wide-open spaces on the first floor. Also, patrons who place materials on hold can now pick them up from a self-service area. 

The library offers an array of services, including book discussions, a genealogy group, study rooms and a family room with interactive books for preschoolers.
