You Are Invited to the Cook Park Library Groundbreaking Celebration!


June 19 marks the last day the Cook Park Library will be open before construction starts. Join us for sweets, games, and an opportunity to say goodbye to the library. George Boehm, who was a library trustee when the library opened in 1968, will reflect on the future of the library during the brief groundbreaking ceremony. The celebration will start at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 19 at the Cook Park Library, 413 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville.

During construction, library services will be available at the Temporary Library Center (TLC) (114 N. Milwaukee), the Evergreen Interim Library (290 Evergreen Drive, Vernon Hills) and on the Bookmobile.

First Foundation Walls At Aspen



The first foundation walls were poured today at the Aspen Drive Library!

Despite the rain, the construction crew at EVS is still on schedule. So far, the crew has dug a detention pond, created a clay building pad, dug concrete footings, and started pouring concrete for the foundation walls. The building is on track to be completed in April, 2010.

The Cook Park Library is closing its doors at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 19 for the duration of the library's expansion project. The district will open the Temporary Library Center (TLC) at Noon on Monday, June 22. The TLC will operate at 114 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville, during the much-anticipated construction project. Construction of the Cook Park Library will begin in mid-June and is expected to take more than a year.


Programs, meetings and other activities normally staged at the Cook Park library will be held elsewhere in the district.

The temporary library will have popular books, DVDs, CDs, kids materials and public computers. Items in the library's collection that are not on hand can be ordered and picked up at the TLC, the Evergreen Interim Library or a bookmobile stop.

The Cook Park library will be remodeled and receive an 11,000-square-foot addition as part of a $14 million construction project. A.J. Maggio Co. has been awarded the site's construction contract.
