The North Side Library features the Heritage Collection, which is filled with local history artifacts from the Highland Park and surrounding neighborhoods. The vintage photographs and memorabilia encased in the meeting room tell the story of the Park’s past.
The North Side Library drive-up book drop is open 24/7 and located on the west side of the building facing the alley. Enter the alley from Euclid Avenue for driver’s side access.
Accessing the North Side Library from Ovid Avenue
Access to the North Side Library from Euclid Avenue may be disrupted this summer due to an ongoing construction project. Patrons may access the North Side Library parking lot from the south by using Ovid Avenue to reach 5th Avenue.
