LFPF Comments on the Lake Forest Library Renovation

The Lake Forest Preservation Foundation shared thoughtful comments on the proposed renovation of the Lake Forest Library, emphasizing the importance of balancing progress with preservation.

LFPF encouraged careful consideration of design, materials, and scale to ensure that improvements enhance—rather than diminish—the library’s longstanding presence in the community.
