Streamwood is served by three library districts.  Residents east of Route 59 are members of the Poplar Creek Library District.  The Poplar Creek Library actually started in Streamwood in1966.  It was created by a successful referendum to establish library service for the Village residents.  Between the years 1969 and 1975 the Library grew to four store fronts, and hours increased to 66 hours per week.  It soon converted to a District Library, expanding its service area to include areas of Hanover Park.  In 1976, ground was broken for the new building and main branch on Park Avenue.  In 1980, the Library became a Federal and State document depository.  The library has a collection of over 160,000 books and over 19,000 other items in its collection.

Residents who live west of Route 59 are served by the Gail Borden Library District.  Its main branch office is located on North Grove Avenue in Elgin.

Residents who live east of Barrington Road are served by the Schaumburg Township District Library.  Its main branch is located at Roselle and Schaumburg Roads in Schaumburg.  These Districts have reciprocal agreements for sharing and use of facilities.
