A wonderful place to get books and media for reading/ listening/ viewing pleasure or to spend time by yourselves or with kids in the library itself. The staff is friendly and helpful. The collection of items is wonderful. The library is well-organized and the rooms are well-lit. They have a drive-up window to drop off borrowed books/ media sorting regular business hours or after-hours. I like this library. I should make a point to go here more often. read more

This place is so cute! And HIGH TECH! We adore libraries, my kiddos are voracious readers, and we feel so happy to be close by. Getting a library card was a nice experience- the librarian was so kind to the kiddos and gave them cards with welcome bags too. They took it very seriously lol. The info librarian helped us get oriented and find my children's fav authors. It's not a huge place but felt spacious and sunlit with beautiful floor to ceiling windows inside. Our fav is the check out machine. It's magic! read more

I've mostly been here for the Baby Story times which happens every week on Tuesdays. The program is well structured and lead by the librarian. There is a reading bit followed by some free play. Choice of books for the littles are wonderful and each kid gets their own board book for the session. During free play they bring out a variety of toys which are super colorful and developmental. Rattles, Blocks, Stacks, Ball Pen, Tunnels - you name it they have it. After the session great care is taken to sanitize each of these before they are used for the next session. Talk about care! During my last visit, I casually asked as to what toys I could pick up for my 1year old. Within minutes, the ladies at the library went up online to the right resources, searched on my behalf and got me a printed list of suggestions. This was simply above and beyond! For the avid reader - they have a huge collection of books, journals, DVD's. There is also a study room, adults reading room and childrens play area. Not bad for an evening at Vernon Hills heh? read more

This is my favorite library to go to around here. I always go here after school when I could. I do my homework there when I have any. A lot of people go there after school to do homework, play games, or hang out. The staff are really nice when I go there. Currently they are renovating the library to make it look really nicer. I definently rate this library 5 stars. read more

Aspen Drive Library - The front of the library. - Libraries Near Me - Vernon Hills, Illinois

This is a great library and a great addition to the Vernon Hills community. I remember growing up and hearing talks about a library, but it didn't happen until just recently. I wish it was around when I was in school because that would have been so helpful and a lot more convenient than going to Cook Memorial in Libertyville or Vernon Area in Lincolnshire. The library is very bright, clean and inviting. The selection is good, but somewhat smaller than other libraries in the area. I like that they have a selection of Blue Ray DVDs (which you can renew). Also, the website makes it very easy to renew and place holds on books with their on-line website. Great library and definitely will be back often! read more

This library is fantastic! All the staff are very courteous and helpful. Library has a lot of kids programmes including great story telling sessions which my kid loved. All in all fantastic local library for Vernon Hills! read more

Great local library! Pro's - it's near my home, has a great computer lab, adult (quiet) reading room, tons of DVDs and CDs, and the ability to reserve materials online and be notified when they're available so I can run in and quickly check them out. Material at the Libertyville branch can be ordered and delivered to this branch for pickup as well. Oh yes, they have self service checkout, which speeds things up quite a bit. Very recently they added vending machines for sodas and K Cup coffee, so you don't have to leave to get a drink if you want. Saw that at Vernon Township library and thought it was a great idea. Cons? None I can think of. Use your local library - its a great resource! read more

This library is amazing: It's open, new and has a growin collection. It also comes with free high speed internet for members. Built with large windows, big tables, plenty of study rooms, reading rooms and computer lab, it caters to people who want a quiet reading enviroment to people who are looking for something lively. This library is at a great location : It is also in close promixity to seven-eleven, indian food, diary queen, japanese food and walgreens. Once you park your car, you can just walk to these to pick up coffee, lunch or meds. I only wish it was open earlier in the mornings instead of 9am and open later during the weekends - maybe like 6 pm. Aspen Drive Library is a cool way to get your studying done read more

This library is great! Large selection of books and friendly staff. Good hours, and a study room for kids. If you ever want a movie, or a game for your kids, they also have them. Their movie selection is very large, ranging from movies for kids, to movies the whole family will enjoy. read more
