From the Director
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the staff of the Lake Forest Library, I welcome you to a place of wonder and exploration—your public library!
The library staff and I want to make each and every visit an outstanding experience and are ready to answer your questions and help you develop and explore your interests. We encourage you to visit often, in person and online.
For nearly 120 years, the Library's resources, services, and programs have enabled and encouraged residents to explore the world from many different viewpoints. The values we treasure and live each day here at the Library are expressed in our mission to inspire life-long learning, promote the open and free exchange of ideas, and build community.
In May 2017, you gave us direction in the community assessment survey that informed the Library's new 2017–2019 Strategic Plan. As we work to implement the Strategic Plan, we will again call on you to provide input and evaluate our efforts.
In the meantime, as your director, my door is always open to hear your questions, concerns, or compliments about the Library. I look forward to seeing you and your families here at the Library!
