Home of the Curious: Sports Statisticians

All of us who walk through the doors of Chicago Public Library have one thing in common—curiosity. Each visit brings a new opportunity for discovery.

Our Home of the Curious campaign features real Chicagoans and the unique ways they each use Library services and programs to ignite their curiosity—and we're hoping it inspires you to explore new ways to use your library.

Resources for Sports Statisticians include titles you can check out, ways to test your sports knowledge and events around the city—all ways to call the Library home if you're into sports.

These are some recommended titles for those who love sports and stats:

As a Sports Statistician, you're probably mad for NCAA basketball. Test your stat and history knowledge with our March Madness quiz! Think you already know it all? Join "The Sports Authorities" at Avalon Branch to discuss all things sports. And if you're looking for more sport for the mind, check out our chess clubs around the city.

Don't forget, you can always ask your favorite reference librarian to lead you to unknown knowledge and lots of sports stats in almanacs and other reference items.

We have so many ways for you to engage with your community, learn something new and discover something wonderful. To the curious, Welcome Home.
