Update on the Aspen Drive Library Expansion

Library Director David Archer returns to give us an update on the 15,000 square foot addition to the Aspen Drive Library in Vernon Hills.

Dave reviews the most exciting features coming to the library, how construction is coming along, and what we can expect in the coming months. He answers a few questions and concerns plus shares what it’s like to be in charge during a library construction project. We wrap up the episode with what Dave’s been reading lately.

  1. Thank you for the mention of the trees that were removed, and that they will be re-planted! I’m also grateful the pollinator garden was saved.
