Can somebody please tell me where I can find a great library down town. I have to write a research paper and actually use sources other than the internet. I prefer a library down town.
Thanks

It's privately funded, but open to the public. I live right near here and have never been there, but I know they have some pretty awesome stuff (like even old Mayan stuff):

It'll be announced as "Library, State, and Van Buren."

Yeah. It's weird though, because some days they actually say "Harold Washington Library." Usually they state what's above, but I ride through it everyday to work in the morning and I've noticed a few times them saying it differently for some reason. Trying to figure it out.
