Signal Hill Library was the first branch designed to accommodate the new-fangled technology called the “internet” in 1998.

This branch was the dream of then alderman and future mayor Dave Bronconnier and strong community support ensured it got on the fast track to opening. Author Brian Brennan described its cathedral ceilings, wooden beams and stone fireplace as “a cozy high tech chalet which was instantly popular with the booming new suburb communities as well as the established older communities.”

In a very short time, much sooner than anyone expected, it was bursting at the seams and before long needed to be renovated and expanded to keep up with such a dynamic community of young families and seniors. It reopened March 26, 2011, proudly wearing its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) designation.
