Let not the stately, historical exterior fool you; this facility is all sorts of state-of-the-art from the materials they carry (e.g., current DVDs) to the technologies they employ (downloadable e-books). I can't help but always be impressed and pleased at having access to this library as a local resource through the parental units. Walking through the doors here inevitably leads to happy feelings!

Besides the wonderful children's section that continues to be a highlight of our week, I've been borrowing books on CD. They have a decent selection and the front librarians can point you to the ones worthwhile to check out. I spend a lot of time in the car and these have been a lifesaver. I've also gotten addicted to checking out books online. Yes! This library lets you borrow E-books from the comfort of your own home. Perfect for us parents who are on the go and don't have the ability to pursue the stacks on our own time. The library offers multiple study areas and free wi-fi. Yeah baby! So you can set up for the day if you need to get some work done ... But quiet library etiquette is still the rule so put away that annoying cell phone! Also, if you need a book and the library doesn't carry it, the reference desk is extremely helpful in getting an inter library loan for you. I can't tell you how many crabby librarians I've had to work with at other libraries. But not here! They're all helpful and approachable. Oh. And they're on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. However you need to reach them, they're there. One minor thing -- I do think it's time for them to update the adult media stacks from a decor standpoint. But really, I'm so please to call the Lake Forest library my home library.

We walked through a large collection of books on our way to the meeting room on the lower floor. The meeting room was large with many tables and chairs. There was a sink in the back of the room near the doors. The setup was perfect for the event. The stairs, elevator, and restrooms were all easily accessible. If the parking lot were more sensibly laid out, this would easily be a five star review. Still, I recommend Cook Memorial Public Library District.

The coach is also the athletic director so his behavior can affect multiple sports. We filed a complaint with the school administration including the new college president regarding this matter, but not sure if anything will be done to address the issue as the president did not want to be directly involved despite our multiple attempts. Another administrator who is very professional reached out and assured that necessary steps will be taken to improve the athlete experience. I sure hope improvements will be made as Lake Forest otherwise is a good school with friendly and caring professors. The team/class/roommates were also friendly.

As for our visit, my father is here for a hearing examination in addition to seeking better quality devices for easier hearing due to sensitivity with his skin.

What a nice little community…read more Never knew this but most parking in Libertyville's downtown area has time limitations. It's a surprise especially when the sign indicating the time limitation is posted within a flower bed. Nice for residents, but hard to notice for passers by; trying to find suitable parking to get a bite to eat. Who the heck uses 15 minute parking properly and what's the point in having it in places that are far from most destinations? 1st parking violation is $20, if you wait 7 days that doubles. Not sure what happens after the doubling. Tickets can be paid by cash or check. Currently they are in the process to see if they can get a credit card machine. If you're here often but not a resident, you might inquire about obtaining a parking permit, the annual rate is $10 and allows you to park in spaces found all around their "downtown". But this information may be flawed since Metra parking for a six month period runs around $250 for a non-resident. In case you get to the Police station after hours, you can drop your payment in the identified mail box outside. $20 is better than the standard ticket price in Chicago and less hassle.
