Voters Will Have Final Say in Proposed Lemont Library Remodel

A proposed $2.8 million in renovations to the Lemont Public Library will be in the hands of voters Tuesday.

With voters’ approval, the library district would issue general obligation bonds to fund the project.

The plans include reconfiguring the addition of space near the front of the building, in addition to reconfiguring current space to allow for more quiet reading areas. Plans also include updating electrical and data systems, roof replacement, parking lot repairs and carpet replacement.

Here’s what you’ll see on the ballot:

Shall the Lemont Public Library District, Cook and DuPage Counties, Illinois, repair, remodel and improve, furnish necessary equipment and acquire electronic data storage and retrieval facilities for, build an addition to and improve the site of the existing library building and issue its bonds to the amount of $2,800,000 for the purpose of paying the costs thereof?
