"Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments; love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom:
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved."

Your neighborhood library

Library service to Glenpool began in 1962 with a bookmobile, and in 1985, the community requested full-time library service from the Tulsa City-County Library and a stationary bookmobile was located on the parking lot of the Glenoak Shopping Center. The Library opened a leased storefront of 2,148 square feet at Glenoak in December 1985 with a collection of about 8,000 volumes while monthly circulation was about 5,000 with roughly 150 people visiting the library daily.

With the passage of a bond issue in August 1988 funds were available for building a new library. A 5,090 square foot library was designed by Braselton Dankbar Inc., constructing architects for the 1.4 acre site at 730 E. 141st Street. Ground breaking ceremonies for the new Glenpool Library were held on June 14, 1991. City and library officials, as well as many citizens were on hand for the event. The building was completed in April 1992. The grand opening ceremony was on Sunday, April 26 and the first day of operation was Monday, April 27.

The library now features separate children’s and adult areas, study areas, a book capacity of 23,000, and a community meeting room with an amphitheater setting which seats 75 and a catering kitchenette. Carol Thomas was the first librarian in the leased location. She was followed by Laurie Sundborg in 1990 who became the first librarian in the new permanent location. Jim Hoffman was next, followed by Julie McClelland, Cheryl Newman, Michelle Raine, and Ron Cook. Jesse Weitenhagen is presently serving as library manager.
