Staff Recommendations

Our Summer Reading programs may have finished, but there is still time to read before summer ends. If you’re looking for a book to take on vacation, whether it’s a print copy, eBook or audiobook, Lake Forest Library has lots of materials to choose from.  Call (847.810.4610), come in, or browse the catalog to see what’s available. 

Need a recommendation? This summer the Lake Forest Library staff read and listened to over 100 diferent books.  While The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin is probably our summer favorite and The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd a close second, the list includes other interesting and entertaining titles:
