Waukegan Public Library

I have lived in Waukegan since 1999, and I have to agree that the library here, while small, is well stocked and well organized. I split my time between here and the Warren Newport Library in Gurnee, between them both I can find almost any book I am looking for. Since they are connected, I can use my Waukegan library card in both. The library in Gurnee rents DVDs and CDs for free, while the Waukegan library charges $ 1.

I recently moved to Waukegan and the library is the first place I went. I have a laptop with wi-​fi so I was pleased to find they had free wi-​fi access here.
I set up on one of the tables in the reading room but found a weak connection. I found by moving to the tables right behind where all the house computers were set up, the connection was much stronger.
This is a nice library that has everything you would expect in a modern library. The procedure for getting a card was very fast and efficient and in minutes I had a card with a picture of my face on the front.
I also found by asking that there was a parking lot kiddy corner from the entrance where you can get two hours of free parking by getting your ticket stamped.
