Although it may not feel
like it yet,
Summer is here!
It's finally time to go
outside and enjoy the sunshine. Whether you're working
in the yard, reading on the beach, fishing in the lake, or
going camping, the library has what you need to make the most
of your summer.
Best of all, save on
gas because we're close to home!
 Before you set to
work in the yard, download an audiobook using MyMediaMall or check
out one of our preloaded iPods
or Playaways.
Check out a hot bestseller
before you hit the beach.
Bring the family and enjoy the cool
sounds of summer during our Wauconda Area Summer
Concert Series, in partnership with the Friends of the
Library and the
Wauconda Park
District.
Staying close to home? Browse
our Illinois
travel guides (or Wisconsin
or Indiana).
Avoid the "Are we there yet?" question with these family
travel and activity guides.
Once it gets too hot to cook, try our no-cook, barbecue
or outdoor
cooking cookbooks. Be sure to register for our summer
cooking programs!

residents. |

For the first time in the
library's history, the library will be open Sunday from
noon to 4 p.m. year-round. Until this year, the
library had always been closed Sundays through the summer
months.
We are now able to be open on
Sundays all year because of the great support we have had
from the community. Clearly, our community's need
for information and entertainment extends beyond the school
year, and Sundays have become one of our busiest days of
the week.
We are very happy that we can
accommodate the community's need for Sunday service through
the summer.
