Hi, I'm David Seleb, the Executive Director of the Oak Park Public Library. We are recognized for a high level of service, and have exceptionally talented and creative staff, and an innovative spirit. Our vision is to empower the voices of our community and our mission is to share the information, services, and opportunities that fulfill Oak Park’s aspirations. We do this through our commitment to the strategic priorities of engagement, learning, and stewardship.
Some of the most recent work of which I am most proud are our efforts to eliminate barriers to service and to achieve greater equity for our patrons and our staff. We have a full time social worker at the Oak Park Library, one of only a handful who work for public libraries in the United States. He and his team have elevated our community engagement in ways that have attracted national attention.
Seventy percent of Oak Park’s 52,000 residents have library cards, and the library circulates over 1.2 million items each year. Thousands of people a year attend our programs and special events. The people of Oak Park love their library!
