Aspen Drive Public Library Grand Opening in Vernon Hills, IL - 10 days and counting!
"Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest." ~Lady Bird Johnson
The Cook Memorial Public Library District has excitedly announced the completion of construction on the Aspen Drive Public Library in Vernon Hills, IL. The shelves are up, the 
furniture is in and I'm sure the librarians and volunteers are working steadily to fill the halls with thousands of volumes of books. As an English Literature major, I can't think of anything more important than the opening of a public library. In this day and age where stories can be downloaded to multitudes of electronic devices at the blink of an eye, it's nice to know that there are still places where reading is still a community activity and books are still valued.
As the opening gets closer, I'm sure there will be more news about grand opening activities. Until that time, I want to tell you about a program in which the Cook Memorial Public Library participates. The Musuem Adventure Pass program allows anyone with a library card within the Cook Memorial Library district to check out a pass that allows for free/discounted admission to some of the area's most entertaining museums in Chicago and the Northwest Suburbs. The Kohl Children's Museum, Brookfield Zoo and the Chicago Botanic Garden are just a few of the participating libraries. Click here for more information on the program as well as the participating museums. Just a little something to get excited about!
The Aspen Drive Public Library, the first in Northern Vernon Hills, is located at 701 Aspen Drive in Vernon Hills, IL. Just take Hwy. 60 to Aspen Drive. We'll share more information about hours of service and programs as they start to make them available. Until then, check out their website http://www.cooklib.org/ for the most up-to-date information.

They're looking to raise property taxes here in SoCal to fund the libraries... I'm not in!
