Parking Lot Expansion Continues...
The new parking lot will accommodate 32 vehicles, a nearly fifty percent
increase over the capacity
of the current parking lot. The new lot will have
2 spaces dedicated to handicapped parking.
These spaces will be much closer
to the entrance than the spaces in the current lot.
Library patrons will enter the parking lot from Joliet Avenue and exit via
the alley. The book drop
will move from the White Avenue side of the lot to
the rear of the parking area so that vehicles
stopped to unload books will
not block the sidewalk or back up traffic onto Joliet Avenue.
The design for the new parking lot includes a more visible flagpole, a bike
rack, a lighted sign
to identify the library and promote library events and
green space at all four corners of the lot.
The Library Trustees gratefully acknowledge the assistance and cooperation
of Roy Witherow, Village Manager, and James Barthel, Director of Building
and Planning, during the design process.
The
Lyons Public Library serves a population of over 10,000. The staff pride
themselves on
being
service oriented and friendly. We provide the following services for
our residents:
Interlibrary Loan,
Reference Services, Internet access, adult programming
and story times for children.
The mission of the Lyons
Public Library is to promote interest and enjoyment of
reading
in children and adults; to provide materials that supplement the
local grade school, high school
and college students' learning; to provide materials to enable adults to
continue to educate
themselves after
finishing formal schooling; to provide materials for
adults to keep
themselves
informed on world events
and therefore, help them to
participate in a democratic society.
