What kind of artistic treasures are hidden inside the Mount Greenwood Branch Library? I’ll tell you. The Mount Greenwood Branch Library is more than just a place to borrow books. It’s a gallery of art, carefully curated thanks to Chicago’s Percent for Art Ordinance. This ordinance mandates that a portion of the budget for public buildings goes towards incorporating art. So, as you wander through the Mount Greenwood Branch Library, take a moment to appreciate the art. You might stumble upon a set of oil paintings by John Bakker or find yourself captivated by a steel sculpture crafted by Mary Brogger. There’s even a watercolor piece entitled “Highlights of Mt. Greenwood” by Jack Simmerling. And if those don’t catch your eye, there are two oil paintings by Ann Wiens to admire. The Mount Greenwood Branch Library, dedicated on June 8th, 1991, is a testament to the belief that art has a place in everyday life.
