The new Gail Borden Public Library is situated along the eastern shore of the Fox River. From every angle, the building presents passers-by with a variety of views of this Prairie School-inspired structure.

Gail Borden is totally accessible, with ramped entrances, automatic doors, elevators, and wide corridors.
 

The river stone buttressing on the exterior of the building ground it in its shoreline environment.

Ample parking surrounds the library.

Flanking the back of the building are two enclosed activity areas for the Youth Department.
