Lake Villa District Library is proud to announce Jeff Harold as the inaugural artist in its Featured Artist Exhibit space. Harold, a self-described "Generalist Photographer," has a diverse portfolio that includes landscapes, model portfolios, jazz musicians, and more. “Exploring new ways to approach a subject inspires me,” says Harold. “Creating small portfolios of ten images around a specific theme has been particularly rewarding.”

Everything is awesome at Lake Villa District Library, especially if you are a fan of LEGO bricks. LEGO-themed programs and activities are planned throughout the month of November, including a display of three Frank Lloyd Wright buildings---the Robie House, the Laurent House and Still Bend---courtesy of Bricks & Minifigs, Kenosha.
