Lyons Regional Library District — Attraction in Lyons

Brand new big library opened in Sept 2019! It is spacious, modern, and welcoming. Forget all those previous reviews of it being cute and small!

There is an outdoor garden and play area where little ones can stretch out for a bit during a car trip break. A lot of thoughtful microzones for different age groups and interests that looked well curated. Bonus: they have many games, movies and kits that you can check out (hello ukulele and crochet kit) as well. A great community space as well with quiet reading rooms and meeting rooms and decorated...
