What a great library! I believe it has been in it's new location since October of 2012. I took the…read moreboys for the first time a few months back and we've been going at least 3 times a months since then. The exterior of the building looks great as it should since it's new! The interior is wonderful...lot's of room and the library does not waste any of it. They have community meeting rooms, quiet room(s), an internet cafe room, independant study rooms, children's section room(s), teenage section room, and even a game system room...and plenty of computers in each section (adult, teenage, and children) of the library. I know, Wow! I'm certain that I am forgetting one or two other rooms. The library also has wi-fi throughout the building, no issues logging on. My boys love the children's section of the library. They have computers with specific software/programs for children, puzzles, legos, and nice section to sit and read. Great view of DT Crown Point from this part of the library as well. The library also hosts a number of great events for children of all ages and even adults, I know I'm looking forward to seeing Astronaut, Jerry Ross next month. The staff has also been very kind and helpful each time I've asked a question or for help. Last note...the Crown Point and Winfield libraries operate seperately from the Lake County branch libraries.

When I went here I was surprised on the building designing was so unique and cool. When I went…read moreinside there was a lot of noise from kids running around and yelling. Then I sat down in a comfortable chair. In the library there was a lot of books and decorations. The only bad parts were that it was super loud and crammed and tiny with hardly any places to sit down

The only downside is the organization of the library... there really is a lack of it. Upside is the friendliness & small size.

This review is for the soccer department. After watching my 7 year old play 2 games I noticed she…read morewasnt getting very much game time. I complained as it was basically statically impossible to play as little as she did compared to the other kids especially the coaches daughter. They had 10 people with 7 positions yet somehow my kid sat the bench at the start of every quarter and played less than 50% of the game. All while the coaches daughter played the whole game. I confronted him about it and that guy actually told me that he doesnt believe in fair play and that because his kid puts more effort into practice that she deserves to play more then everyone else. I know hes a volunteer but these are 7 year olds that are in first and second grade. The director of the soccer department did nothing about this coach. Everyone develops differently but that is far to young to punish a kid for not knowing how to play the game perfectly. Bottom line, Hopefully your lucky and you dont get a coach like this, or you get lucky and the coach doesnt single out your child in a method of social bullying. Because, the Channahon Park District will do nothing to help you in this situation. That Coach shouldnt ever be allowed to coach anyone less then 4th grade. That Coach is going to be the reason why so many young kids turn away from soccer.

If you are looking for group fitness classes in the Channahon-Minooka area, the Channahon Park…read moreDistrict has some really good offerings. I take the cardio strength and kickbox strength with Annmarie. All workout classes are good for any fitness level. Most classes are only $5 for the drop-in rate. Most people sign up for the yearly fitness package, but the drop-in rate fits really nicely with my busy schedule. Definitely lost some pounds and toned-up a bit in the two months of dropping in and taking Annmarie's classes. Good luck and happy workouts.

This building use to be on 13795 East Central and it was a 100 year old farm house. The maximum…read moreamount of people would could be in the building at one time was 25. Most of their programs were conduced in the Martin Luther King Park. Now! they are located at 13130 East Central in a building over 8000 Square Feet that fits up to 300 people at one time. They still have some finishing touches to complete. But the service is great! You may have to watch out for children getting excited at the programs. But I have had a great time. There are art and music programs. There are computers connected to the internet and they have secure wifi. I love visiting because you never know what they will do. Like today was a rainy day so a lot of the home schooled youths visited the library. The Librarians pulled out projects for them to do. You can play chess there is a corner for the children setup for them to play. Its called Kamayalas' Corner, they named it after Kamayala Johnson who passed away at the age of 5 of a sickness doctors could not figure out. That child would keep everyone in line in the old buildings children area. What a great story and the history being collected! I love this place

This gem of a building is located literally on the water of a sleepy little Indiana town. As I walked through the hallway of this multi function boarding house/converted hotel, I realized I had finally been able to see items throughout history that I had only read about. This museum, dedicated to the preservation and history of one of Cedar Lakes oldest business building blocks during the ice industry was filled with americana. Top to bottom. If you are a historical enthusiast and are into these kinds of things, please make time to see it and they ask for SO VERY LITTLE in donation that you should throw some extra money in the jar on your way out. It is a treasure, and a wonderful find for anyone to see.
