The Elk Grove Village Public Library (EGVPL) is a public library located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It was established in 1959 in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois in order to serve the citizens of Village of Elk Grove.

It serves over 33,350 (2012) residents living in the Village of Elk Grove, which consists of sections of Elk Grove Township and Schaumburg Township in Cook County, and of Addison Township in DuPage County. The service areas of the library and the Schaumburg Township District Library (STDL) overlap. The Elk Grove Library is considered one of the top five Illinois libraries per capita use.

History
Preparations for a new library were thanks in large part to the Elk Grove Junior Woman's Club library committee. The committee included Mrs. Robert Fleming, library chairman; Mrs. Francis Walsh, the ways and means chairman; Mrs. Joseph Markech, club president; and Mrs. Arnold Shaw, publicity chairman. Members organized a dance and a "Book and a Buck" campaign to raise funds specifically for a special village election to select six volunteer trustees for the anticipated public library. The library officially opened on July 18, 1959 when the woman's club presented a check for $1,600 to the library chairman, Mrs. Robert Fleming, to pay for the election. The six trustees appointed were responsible for running the library until the Village of Elk Grove took over.

Centex Corporation donated a model home, located at 38 Forest Lane, to the Elk Grove Junior Woman's Club to be a temporary location for the new library. During the few weeks after the library's opening, the woman's club library committee stamped and indexed books and asked for donations of office equipment. Fleming also appealed to firms and private individuals in the area to donate books or equipment. The mailbox served as a book return, and the bathtub served as storage for returned books until library volunteers were able to re-shelf them. The library was open 10 hours per week, and circulation averaged around 16,940 items per year.

By 1960, the Forest Lane home had grown to be a completely inadequate space for the library. In response, the library's board president, Robert Fleming, and the board of trustees proposed the building of a larger facility, which would cost those living in Elk Grove Village an estimated $420,000. Residents voted against the plan by more than 4 to 1, but expressed preference of building a smaller, expandable library.

Several years later in July 1966, a new $117,000 building, standing on 2.5 acres of landscaped grounds courtesy of Centex, opened at 101 John F. Kennedy Boulevard. Evelyn Schmidt, a resident of Elk Grove, was the chief librarian, originally the first librarian of the Elk Grove Library in 1961. By 1967, library staff comprised four full time and six part time employees. The library's hours of operation increased to 62 hours a week. The collection consisted of over 21,000 books and approximately 100 periodicals. Circulation also increased to 127,236 items per year. Features of this new location included a meeting room for use by non-profit village organizations, art displays held by local groups, an historical exhibit sponsored by the Tribune, summer reading programs, story times assisted by the junior woman's club, a book review series, and school trips.

After the flood of 1987, the library moved into its current 63,000 square foot facility at Wellington Avenue on September 9, 1990.
