Website & Technology

• IT Contractor applied for an e-rate discount of the library’s internet bill. A 50% discount was approved, reducing the libraries Internet charges (between July 2025 to Jun 2026) from $1,619.40 to $809.70. The application process has been streamlined, allowing the library to apply this year without investing a significant number of hours to do so. In the future, the library will apply for a reduction of Internet connection and hardware, providing a reduction of approximately $2000 in savings per year.

• The number of wireless clients connecting to the library's wireless is 50% higher than this time last year. From May to July 2024, the wireless clients were 9510. During the same time period in 2025, the wireless clients are 14,220.

• In July, IT Contractor, Yuliya and Aurora initialized 25 laptops. Since September of 2024, the library has offered 7 digital literacy classes, providing training and distributing laptops to 96 individuals! The library's 8th digital literacy class will begin

on August 23rd with 14 participants.

HR

• This summer, the Library partnered with the Lake County Workforce Development Program to provide two local teenagers with meaningful job opportunities. Two outstanding teen interns, Alexa and Vinnie, worked at the library, assisting with shelving, disinfecting and organizing toys, completed program examples, prepared materials, organized an inventory project in the YA Makerspace, and uplifted their peers in the teen space. Both interns received one-on-one mentorship and guidance from the Children’s and Teen Services managers, who supported their growth as they took on a variety of projects. Their contributions kept the Children’s and Teen departments running smoothly and created a welcoming environment for families.

• The teens gained valuable workplace skills including time management, organization, punctuality, communication, and leadership. The experience proved transformative. As one teen shared: “If I’m being honest, I kind of forgot what exactly a library is and that’s why I hadn’t been back in a hot minute. Since working here, I’ve been reminded that it’s much more than books, it’s a community, and I will definitely be coming to visit during the school year after this internship is over.” For Alexa and Vinnie, the program provided valuable first-hand job experience and the chance to learn workplace skills in a supportive setting. For the Library, their presence offered much- needed capacity and highlighted the power of investing in youth employment. As one staff member shared, “Their help has been invaluable this summer. Not only have they supported our daily operations, but they’ve also brought great energy to the department.” This collaboration advanced the library’s mission to foster opportunity for young people while strengthening the services offered to children and families.

• The position for Case Manager Contractor is currently open.

Grant Update (updates from Diana G.)

• Grant applications were submitted to the Highland Park Community Foundation and Hunter Family Foundation. Reports to DCEO, Project Next Generation, the Fisher Family, and Endeavor Health were submitted.

• The Friends of the Library received a $45,000 renewal grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) in support of FY26 Health Equity initiatives (7/15/2025).

Patron Services – Children’s Department (Program updates from Diana W.)

Lego Party Builds Creativity and Community As part of the Summer Reading Level Up celebration, the Children’s Department hosted a Lego Party on July 19. Fifteen children participated, using creativity,

imagination, and problem- solving skills during open play with

Legos of all shapes and sizes. Children proudly shared their designs with peers, and both parents and children expressed interest in repeating the event. We look forward to offering this program again in the future.

Patron Services—Teen Department (Program Updates Lauren)

Teen Cooking Club: Healthy No-Bake Snacks

Nine teens participated in the Library’s Teen Cooking Club, where they learned how to make healthy, protein-packed “no- bake” snacks. Participants measured ingredients, practiced

making even portions, and explored creative snack options. Teens had the choice of preparing Peanut Butter Oat

Balls or frozen yogurt-covered blueberries. The session was filled with laughter, collaboration, and excitement as teens built confidence in the kitchen and enjoyed the results of their work together.

Patron Services— Adults Program (Updates from Aurora)

High School Diploma Student Achievements

This month, four of our adult learners successfully passed a portion of the High School Diploma exam. Their accomplishment reflects their dedication and the strong support provided through this initiative. Ten students are

consistently attending class, demonstrating both commitment and steady progress toward their educational goals. These milestones show how the Library’s adult literacy programs continue to open doors and empower adults to pursue brighter futures.

Bridging the Digital Divide Through Laptop Distribution

The Digital Navigation initiative is opening doors to opportunity and lifelong learning. Using Lake County grant funding, the Library distributed 23 laptops this month to community members who are working on their English Language and High School Diploma goals. Now equipped with laptops, community members can practice at home and reinforce what they have learned in class. They are not only strengthening their English and academic skills, but also gaining essential digital literacy,

which is key to success in today’s world. One ESL student shared that the main reason she

came to the Library was to learn computer skills. What she discovered, she said, was a

“treasure box” filled with everything she needed to grow: language support, technology access, and a welcoming learning community. Students expressed excitement and gratitude for being able to be a part of this program. Their determination and eagerness to learn are truly inspiring. By bridging the digital divide, the Library is helping individuals to unlock their potential and empowering them for the future.

English Language Skill-building Brings Confidence

In our ESL class, we welcomed a new student who is also the mother of a teenage son. This is her first time enrolling in an English class, and on her very first day she openly shared her struggle with low self-confidence when speaking English. At home, she practices with her son, but he often tells her that her pronunciation is not

quite right. While such comments could be discouraging, she chooses to persevere. Instead of giving up, she comes to class with determination and eagerness to improve.

What motivates her is the sense of community she has found in class. Seeing others who, like her, are learning English reminds her that she is not alone. Being part of this group gives her strength and encouragement. During class she participates actively, asks thoughtful questions,

and engages fully with each lesson. Already, her confidence and critical thinking skills are growing, an inspiring reflection of her courage and commitment to learning.

Health Equity

Patient Portal Presentations Strengthen Digital and Health Literacy

This month, our Case Manager and Digital Navigator coordinated a series of presentations to help community members learn how to navigate patient portals. These sessions were developed in direct response to community feedback, which identified a need for greater understanding of how to access personal health information. The program supported multiple goals: increasing digital literacy, empowering individuals to manage their health records, and helping participants understand how to access care when transitioning to new providers. The timing was especially important, as recent changes to Medicaid access for immigrants, including the end of the Health Benefits for Immigrant Adults (HBIA) program in June 2025, have created uncertainty for many in the community, particularly those ages 42 to 64. By equipping participants with the skills to access and manage their health information, the Library is reducing barriers, promoting equity, and ensuring that residents feel more confident navigating the healthcare system during this time of change.

Case Management Support Provides Safety and Stability

During a case management session, a community shared concerns about her safety at home. Our team helped her connect with a trusted partner organization that could provide legal assistance and rent assistance. She will be receiving food assistance and therapeutic support as well. As a result of the library’s case management support, the community member reported that she is feeling safer and more at ease about her future.
