WHERE
Chicago Public Library - Chinatown Branch [info]
2353 S. Wentworth Avenue
Chicago, IL 60616
It is within walking distance from ALA’s facility McCormick (Address: McCormick Place, 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60616).
McCormick is a huge complex. Its west gate is closer to Chinatown branch. It's about 15-20 minutes walk. It seems the quickest way from McCormick to the Branch is walk along E Cermak. E Cermak will change to W Cermak. If you start from S. Indiana Avenue, you will pass about 6-7 blocks and see S Wentworth Avenue on your left hand. Turn to the Avenue and pass about 4 blocks, you will reach the meeting place.
