The Champaign Library Association, a subscription public library, was organized in 1868. In 1876, the Champaign Public Library and Reading Room was established as a free (tax-supported) public library. The Library's first permanent home (in 1896) was provided through the generosity of A. C. Burnham. A 40,000-square-foot Main Library at 505 S. Randolph opened in 1978. The current 122,600-square-foot building, built just behind the previous library, opened in January 2008. Service agencies now include two buildings, one bookmobile, home delivery, and various deposit collections. The Library offers a wide variety of programs to persons of all ages.
