Vernon Area Public Library drive-up window closed for construction

The drive-up window at Vernon Area Public Library in Lincolnshire is closed for work to improve access.

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

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.

Also closed during construction is the book return on the exterior wall of the library building. A free-standing 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 (Lake-Cook at Old McHenry roads, Buffalo Grove) or outside of Sunset Foods in Long Grove. Materials can also be returned inside the building.

Construction will end by 3 p.m. each day. The work is expected to be finished by the end of July, officials said.
