Near North Branch Library

Near North Branch was dedicated on August 6, 1997, replacing a temporary reading room in the Seward Park Field House. The branch features art funded through the Percent for Art Ordinance administered by the City of Chicago Public Art Program: a mixed media collage entitled Scott Street at Cabrini Green, by Mat Barber Kennedy; and a series of oil on canvas entitled Illinois Writers, by Steve Musgrave; and an acrylic on birch panel entitled Key Bearer U, by Jane Williams Ferris.
