We're Moving!

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.
