The Glen Ellyn Public Library is grateful for its place in the Village of Glen Ellyn and the land we are able to inhabit. We acknowledge the peoples who were here long before the village was formed: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi who are also known as the Council of Three Fires. Others such as the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Kickapoo, Peoria, Miami, Sauk, Fox, and Illinois also settled on and moved through this land. The people of these tribes cared for this land as stewards of the rivers, the wildlife, and the plants, which flourished. They inhabited villages in the area, including those in what are now Churchill Woods and The Morton Arboretum... As an organization whose mission is to serve the community as a vibrant center for accurate information, robust learning, and personal discovery the Glen Ellyn Public Library wants to ensure that we tell with integrity, the history of the land that we now inhabit. We are committed to offering materials (books, dvds, etc.) and programming that..
