Swedenborg Library | Swedenborg Library

The Swedenborg Library in Chicago, IL, is dedicated to practical spirituality. We are affiliated with the Swedenborgian Church of North America. 
 
The library’s collection includes the work of 18th-century Swedish scientist and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772) among its spiritual-topic books. The library sponsors educational programs and workshops for the public. 

We are open most Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and prior to scheduled programs or by appointment. Contact us at info@SwedLib.org.  

 NOTE: We do not offer digital services or printing. For those needs, see the FedEx Office on Clark St. just south of Monroe St.

About Us

The Swedenborg Library is located on the 17th floor of 77 W. Washington St., on the southeast corner of Clark St. and Washington St. in Chicago’s Loop, directly opposite Daley Plaza (The BMO Bank is the landmark you will notice at street level.) We are one block from the Washington stops of the Red and Blue Lines, and two blocks from the Clark/Lake stop of the Green, Brown (Washington-Wells or Clark/Lake stop), and Orange Lines. The #22 bus stop at Randolph/Washington is 1/2 block from us. 

There is road work being done on Clark St. south of our location, so on-street parking is a little more difficult to find. 

Best bet for parking in Chicago’s Loop area: check ParkWhiz.com or SpotHero.com for rates at Chicago Loop-area lots for the date/time you plan to visit. Most lots have lower rates for after 5:00 PM entry, weekends, and before midnight exit. We use the Self-Park at 172 W. Madison (near Wells St.) or the Poetry Garage (also on Madison St. west of the Swedenborg Library location).﻿
