    Oak Brook Library - Very organized and this area pretty much sums up the entire kids play area. Plenty of seating available

    Definitely an older library but it's clean and neat. Mainly visited the kids section, closer…read moresuburbs have larger kids section and lots more to do but I give them props for cleanliness and tidiness

    Worst Library I have ever been to in my life. Not a place of learning and study…read more I was using one of the library's computer monitor to use a a second monitor to study. A Mr. Ejez Khan walked up to me shaking his head like a disapproving father stated You cant do that! I ask him Excuse me sir but who are you? He said i am part of the library staff and I then informed him that i was given permission by library staff that I could use the monitor. He asked me who gave me permission and I said I dont need to give you that information. He then brings the library director Sue Madorin who asked me the same question and I pointed to the gentlemen sitting behind the desk near the computer lab. She then pushed me back off to Mr. Khan who was then introduced as the IT supervisor. He said I couldn't use the monitor for that purpose so I got up and left. The director approached me again and says I dont want you to feel uncomfortable I explained to her that Mr. Khans approach was unprofessional and uncalled for and proceeded out of the library. The head of the oak brook village calls me and basically stated that no one gave me permission to use the monitor. I asked him about the way that Mr. Khan approached me and he stated that thats not what his staff told him. Its funny that he would say this because to my knowledge the only person that could hear the initial exchange between Mr. Khan and I was the gentleman who gave me permission in the first place. May I add that in the library is a cell phone free zone Mr. Khan was on his cell phone talking while in the library How did I know because he was 10 feet from me. Its good to see "staff" of the library not following rules that are posted everywhere in the library.

    I haven't been inside a Barnes & Nobles in years. I saw…read moreBarnes & Noble is offering a featured book of the Month deal for $5.00 upstairs at their cafe. You must make a coffee or bakery purchase any order to get this deal. This location in Oakbrook offers a wide selection of books, magazines, games, music, and gifts, you name it. A cafe that serves coffee, tea, bakery items and snacks. This bookstore is spacious. I like that you can pick out a book and find a quiet place to read. Very organized and easy to browse around and locate your favorite topic sections. There are so many book titles throughout the store. A nice place to come and pick out a good book or grab a magazine and sit back and enjoy the quiet and chill atmosphere. If you have any questions there are plenty of workers walking around willing to help. Even though it was busy and alot of people walking around. The atmosphere was still calm and peaceful. Go online and sign up for upcoming events and book club meetings.

    Huge store that is usually week organized. Very busy during holiday season and they had glitches…read morewith their system but we managed. They should have multiple registers throughout the store for checkout opportunity during this holiday season as the lines were extremely long. On a regular day I love the browsing opportunity. Layout of the store changes but that is to be expected. The Starbucks inside is normally a great read and sip moment. Also, great knowledgeable staff.
