Harold Washington Library Pairs Books with a Winter Garden
Browse the shelves at 400 S. State Street, then look up beneath the glass roof of the Winter Garden.
📚 Beyond the Book Stacks
A reading list from Steppenwolf and Chicago Public Library gives your next book search a starting point. Take that literary cue to Harold Washington Library Center at 400 S. State Street. Rows of shelves and hanging lamps set the scene, with art threaded through the building and a glass domed Winter Garden above.
Build the stop around browsing and a look at the architecture. The library stays open until 8 pm Monday through Thursday, with a 9 am start. Friday and Saturday hours are 9 am to 5 pm, while Sunday opens at 1 pm and closes at 5 pm. Check ahead for holiday changes and Winter Garden access.
