Pritzker Military Library

Pritzker Military Library has nearly finished moving into its new digs, three floors of a Holabird and Roche building with dramatically restored tiled halls and stairways as well as some sparkling new additions—like an intimate, wood-panelled theater with state-of-the art recording equipment. Three exhibit nooks show off art and ephemera, including a Revolutionary War soldier’s pocket journal, classic WWI posters and a Medal of Honor. Books still take center stage: two stories of stacks are accoutred with reading rooms offering a striking view of Millennium Park. Otherwise, it’s business as usual for the library—its customarily top-notch programing is already underway.
