Celebrate Your Library!

National Library Week
April 15 - 21

National Library Week is a time to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians and library workers in schools, campuses and communities nationwide - and the perfect time for residents of the Wauconda Area Library community to come together @ the library for entertainment and enlightenment.

Everyday at the Wauconda Area Library, people of all backgrounds come together for programs, activities and classes for adults, teens and children.  Research a topic with the assistance of professional staff, learn how to use the computer and Internet, search for a job, use online homework tutors, and much, much more. Visit the library this week to find out how much your library has to offer!

Come Together
@ Your Library!

The library will offer numerous activities, programs, raffles and more during National Library Week.
