Plainfield Public Library

The Plainfield Township Library Board of Trustees passed a resolution calling for conversion to a library district on April 22, 1988. The Plainfield Township Board of Supervisors (the corporate authority for the Plainfield Township Library) unanimously approved the resolution of intent at their April 11, 1988 meeting.

On May 3, 1988, Will County Circuit Court Judge Herman Haase entered an order on behalf of Plainfield Township to convert the Plainfield Township Public Library into a district library. This new entity was called the Plainfield Public Library District.

On May 5, 1988, Board of Trustees of the newly created Plainfield Public Library District approved a Resolution of Intent to Merge with the newly created McClester-Nimmons Plainfield Public Library District. A special joint sponsored public hearing was held on May 31, 1988 to obtain public comment and hear public objections to the pending merger.
