The Lake Villa District Library Board of Trustees hired Hitchcock Design Group to create a plan to utilize the library’s outdoor spaces. Ten design firms submitted proposals for the project and three were chosen to give presentations to the board.  Following a competitive interview process Hitchcock was selected.  “All three firms were impressive,” said library board president Doug Nieman, “it was not an easy decision.”

The Friends of Lake Villa District Library will award three $1,000 scholarships to qualifying high school seniors graduating in 2022.  Applicants must reside in Lake Villa Township and plan to pursue a two or four-year degree at any accredited vocational school, junior college or university.

Scholarship applications are available at www.lvdl.org/about/friends and will be shared with local high school guidance counselors.
