Wauconda Area Library

In 1950 the library was moved to a room in the Village Hall due to the rent costs of the previous space.

In 1963 the library was moved again to 212 Osage Street renting the front part of the building which was later bought in whole in 1971.

The library earned the Distinguished Building Award in 1998 from the American Institute of Architects.

It added a kids play area downstairs, along with various other features.

In 2020, the library started offering patrons remote reservations and contactless checkouts through MyLIBRO application.
