We look forward to welcoming you back to the Newberry. Following updated guidance from public health officials, we’ve reopened with new safety measures, including requiring that all visitors be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Start (or level up) your genealogy research. Read Ulysses. Explore Chicago parks. Hone your storytelling skills. Do all this and more with Newberry adult education classes. Registration is now open for the Winter/Spring 2022 term.

Inquiring minds want to know, and we’re happy to oblige. That’s why we’re presenting a new season of engaging (and free) public programs. This winter, we’re talking Shakespeare and type, journalism and police accountability, tourism and Indigenous history, and more.
