History
Dole Learning Center was built in 1926, and donated to the Village of Oak Park in 1939, by Andrew and Mary Dole, who also owned Cheney Mansion. The Village used it as a library branch for several decades and added recreational programming in the late 1970s. Dole Center underwent a major renovation in 2002, which made the building ADA accessible. In addition to the Village, the Oak Park Library, and the Park District occupied parts of Dole Center through an intergovernmental agreement and all three entities contributed to a sinking fund for the utility costs, janitorial services, and maintenance of the building. The Park District purchased Dole Center from the Village of Oak Park in 2019.
