Drive-Up Window Improvements

Drive-up Window has reopened. Improvement work is complete.

The drive-up window at Vernon Area Public Library is closed beginning Tuesday, June 25, for work to improve access.

When the project is complete, visitors will find the window easier to pull up to and easier to reach. 

During construction, reserved library items are available for pickup inside the building. Patrons wishing to pick up reserved items without entering the building may call for curbside service upon arrival.

For curbside service:

1. Pull into one of the spaces on the right side of the circle drive. 
2. Call 224-543-1483. You will be asked to provide your name and library card number.
3. We locate your reserved items, check them out to your card, and deliver them to your car. Please allow 10 minutes for this service.

The book return on the exterior wall of the library building is also closed during construction. A freestanding drive-up return box is available on the left side of the circle drive near the library entrance. Additional remote return locations are available in the Grove shopping center (Buffalo Grove) or outside of Sunset Foods (Long Grove). Materials can also be returned inside the building. 

Construction will end by 3 p.m. each day; patrons wishing to avoid the added commotion may want to plan accordingly.

The work is expected to be finished by the end of July, officials said.
