History
The North Shore Library serves the four northeast suburban Milwaukee County communities of Bayside, Fox Point, Glendale and River Hills. North Shore Library is also a member of the Milwaukee County Federated Library System, and as such provides service to all Milwaukee County Residents.

In 1979, the library began when the villages of Bayside and Fox Point joined forces to establish the original Fox Point-Bayside Library in 5,000 square feet of leased space in Stormonth School of Fox Point.

By 1982, that space had become inadequate and a search was begun to find ways and means to relocate and expand the library. Meanwhile, an interest in library services had developed in the adjoining communities of Glendale and River Hills. Recognizing their common goals, these four suburbs formed a library planning committee.

In 1985, Cardinal Stritch College (located in Glendale ) sold some campus land for commercial/residential development --resulting in the current BVK office building and the Coventry Court apartment complex. That sale included a provision that 20,000 square feet of space in the office building was to be given by the developers to the City of Glendale for community use.

In May of 1986, this space (the first floor of the modern four-story office building) became the North Shore Library.

With a growing collection, an expanding range of up-to-date client services, an active Friends of the Library organization, and a newly established North Shore Library Foundation, the North Shore Library continues to strive to successfully meet the educational, informational, and recreational needs of its clients.
