Easily reached by taking the Green Line west and getting off at Oak Park
Ave.--then walk north one block to Lake St. and look left. The large
modern building next to the park is the Library.

Out-of-towners, if you forget directions, just look for tall downtown
buildings. which is EAST and take it from there. If you are taking some time
away from the conference, Oak Park has good restaurants and is easy to
walk around and admire Frank Lloyd Wright creations.
