Friends of the Library

In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Lake Villa District Library will be closed until further notice. This measure has been taken for the safety of the general public and library staff, not due to any known exposure.

The Friends actively promote community awareness of the library and provide funds for library equipment and programs.
