I really enjoyed the presentation tonight about J. A. Dowie & would have to hear other presentations on local history – Gurnee, Waukegan, Lake County in general, etc.! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the program about Dowie and Zion. It certainly is a fascinating topic! 11. Can it be changed for variety to become an item that can be checked out. Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider this possibility. Computer-related comments 1. Why can’t all the computers that have internet access do a catalog search of the library. I would only find one catalog computer and waited for the user to finish. Thank you. All our internet stations can access the library catalog too! When you log in to one of our internet stations, it will take you to a page from which you can search the catalog. Feel free to ask for help at either the Adult or Youth Services desks. Miscellaneous-related comments 1. Cream soda would be a nice drink from the vending machine and maybe cream soda no cal. Thank you for your suggestion. However, due to increasing costs and supply chain limitations, we cannot guarantee that our vending partner can make this change. 2. You should put out a table at Gurnee Days Sale Books for a donation at least? Or bring the Van? Thanks. Thank you for your suggestion. Our amazing Friends of WNPL held a Saturday Book Sale at the library during Gurnee Days, and it was a big success. I will discuss with both the Friends and WNPL staff the possibility of having an increased presence at Gurnee Days next year. Thank you for taking the time to help us improve our service to you. If suggested a title for purchase, we have passed it along to staff members who order materials. Ryan Livergood, Executive Director Patron comments appear here unabridged and unedited.
