The library’s evolution and history is on display in the foyer with an exhibition of artifacts, legends, and visual media.

Lake Forest Library is hosting a free Google Expeditions AR (Augmented Reality) event where library visitors can view 3D virtual models using the latest in Google technology.

As their first joint effort, Lake Forest and Lake Bluff libraries will offer three events about the Vietnam War, building on the documentary made by Ken Burns and Lunn Novick.

Lake Forest Library is a participant in Deer Path Middle School's community service program.

For the past six years the eighth grade class at Deer Path Middle School has continued the tradition of volunteering around Lake County as part of its Community Service Day. This year 231 eighth-graders volunteered on Friday, Oct. 13, as part of its Community Service Day, which will help the students achieve their goal of participating in 2,018 hours of community service before they graduate eighth grade. 

Students were broken up into groups and spent the day volunteering at a variety of locations in Lake County including Bernie’s Book Bank, Boys and Girls Club of Lake County, Fill a Heart 4 Kids, Lake Forest Library and Ragdale. Students helped out with a variety of things such as storing books, painting, cleaning tables, organization, putting together gift bags and more.
