Wauconda Area Library!
This year, 531 new patrons were
registered for library cards during
this one-month period. Hundreds
more received replacement cards or
keychain cards.
More

the library district offered discounts
or freebies when their customers
presented Wauconda Area Library cards
during the month of September.
Drawings were held on Friday, October

were donated by some of the
participating businesses.
Grand
Prize winners each received a $25
Barnes & Noble gift certificate (4

Circulation Desk. |

Registration Drive
Also a Smashing Success! |

A Record-Breaking Month for
Voter Registration at the Library!
The Wauconda Area Library set a new
record for voter registration at the library
during the month of September, accepting
registrations from more than 500 voters.
The library has provided voter registration as a
standard library service for many years, but we
have never seen such an enthusiastic response
before.
This year, the library participated in
a statewide effort titled Honor September 11:
Register to Vote @ Your Library. The
project was supported by the League of Women
Voters of Illinois, the Illinois State Library
and area libraries and library systems. |
