OVERVIEW:
The Alsip-Merrionette Park Public Library District is currently located in a temporary facility at 128th Street and Cicero Avenue in Alsip, Illinois. The Library's permanent building was built in 1981, and is at the corner of 120th Street and Pulaski Road, also in Alsip.

The Library District, which was formed in 1973 and has a collection of over 104,000 items, provides services to over 22,000 residents of the Villages of Alsip and Merrionette Park, and the unincorporated community of Garden Homes.
