The interior is wonderful...lot's of room and the library does not waste any of it. They have community meeting rooms, quiet room(s), an internet cafe room, independant study rooms, children's section room(s), teenage section room, and even a game system room...and plenty of computers in each section (adult, teenage, and children) of the library. I know, Wow! I'm certain that I am forgetting one or two other rooms. The library also has wi-fi throughout the building, no issues logging on. My boys love the children's section of the library. They have computers with specific software/programs for children, puzzles, legos, and nice section to sit and read. Great view of DT Crown Point from this part of the library as well. The library also hosts a number of great events for children of all ages and even adults, I know I'm looking forward to seeing Astronaut, Jerry Ross next month. The staff has also been very kind and helpful each time I've asked a question or for help. Last note...the Crown Point and Winfield libraries operate seperately from the Lake County branch libraries.

With your library card you also get a limited membership to Hoopla and Kanopy, for digital resources. There is an automatic renewal if no one has reserved the item and a generous grace period.

Something about cracking open a good book gives me the same kind of high that others get from running or smoking crack. I might be biased because the Kouts Public Library is where I really learned to develop my love for reading but I think it is one of the best libraries that I have ever been inside. Granted, it will never be as awe-striking as the San Francisco Public Library (where City of Angels was filmed) or the Los Angeles Public Library which is story after story (no pun intended) of wonderment. It is, however, exactly what a library should be. It's filled with areas to sit and read. It's full of light. And it's a beautiful structure. Oh, and it has books. It has book after glorious book. It even has the Real Food Daily (see review) Cookbook which is amazing. Support your public library. Trust me. You never know what you have until it's gone. And when I lived in San Luis Obispo, California, I realized that not everyone in the world is blessed with a bountiful library.

The Commander Tony found out I am a veteran and offered to help to get connected with the local V(eteran) S(ervice) O(fficer), who over time has assisted me to acquire much needed disability. The building inside is rather large with two main rooms, 1 being the bar which of course serves alcohol and has various entertianment arcade types of games. Free popcorn with a donation. 2nd room being the meeting hall. Where the D(isabled) A(merican) V(eterns) have meetings. Sandwiched between the two main rooms are a Men's room and Ladies room. Plus the grounds are shaded with older growth oak trees which are scenic and walkable. Along with a Frisbee golf course. Just bring your own Frisbee. On the days when the VSO comes, a local pizza company(Pizza on the Point) comes and makes fresh pizza in the kitchen of the meeting room, the personal size pizza's are $8.00, with unlimited toppings. All around this is a great place!
