 Wauconda Receives
Governor's Home
Town
Award!
Library facilitates web-based Community Calendar with
help of the United Partnership for a Better
Community
Wauconda is the
proud recipient of the 2004 Governor’s Home Town
Award. The
award formally recognizes the community improvement efforts of
the United
Partnership for a Better Community. The Partnership was
recognized not only because of its achievements,
but also for its ability to bring a diverse group of people
together on a continuous basis to work towards the common goal
of improving life quality in the Wauconda area.
The web-based
Community Calendar serves as a free resource for everyone
in the community who has access to the Internet. Free Internet access
is available at the Wauconda Area Library.
The
Partnership has greatly facilitated the success of the
library's web-based
Community Calendar by improving the lines of communication
throughout the community. The
library, in turn, helps promote the meetings and events of all
participants by coordinating the Community Calendar.
The
online calendar is made possible by the library’s
participation in NorthStarNet,
an Internet-based community information network comprised of
more than 120 communities in the suburban area, serving a
total population of over 2 million. NorthStarNet
is sponsored by the North Suburban Library
System.

participant?
