We live in the Chicago area and have hardwood floors. Do we need a humidifier, dehumidifier. or anything? Any advise is appreciated...

Personally, I don't think it makes any difference to the floors....if you feel it is dry in the winter, get a humidifier and the opposite for the summer.

Julie if you have central air in the summer, or even run an air conditioner you really won't need a dehumidifier. In the Chicago area in the winter time I would run a humidifier, the air is dry and with having a furnace going it will dry it out even more. I have a humidifier in the main room in the house plus one in the bedroom. But as Skootz said if it feels humid and sticky in the summer than use a dehumidifier, or dry in the winter use a humidifier. I also have a vent on my dryer that I have the air blown into the basement to add some humidity and warmth to it in the winter time.
