Warren-Newport Public Library

There’s a good collection of books, movies and cds that you can borrow for free with your library card. The kids area is awesome and the staff is very nice! I go there to study and I love it. They have study rooms that you can separate for 2 hours with boards and markers that you can use. I love this place!

Stuff are very nice and helpful. Good selection of books and environment. Books are very organized in every room. They have lots of event for kids and teens. I have gone here for 4 years, but never had negative experience. I love this library.

This is a great library. You can get all the books, cd’s, movies that you would ever want to read, listen to or watch at this place. I was never a library person and I realized every book or movie I purchased just sat on a shelf at my house never to be picked up again. I pay taxes for the library, why not use it?
This library is clean, the staff Is helpful when needed or you can be like me and never have to interact with a real person. You can go online, reserve what you want, they auto call you when it’s in, check out at the self-​serve computers and return in a drop box. What’s not to love?

Good lightning.
Clean environment.
Nice place to focus.

One of the best libraries that I have visited with a very easy automated self check out system. This library has a wide selection of media from DVDs, audiobooks, and newspaper articles. It’s never packed with people from wall to wall, the librarians are very helpful, and it is a great place for people of all ages to study. Great library!

Fantastic suburban library, probably number 2 on my list of best Illinois libraries only surpassed by Park Ridge Library.
The librarians here are always friendly and helpful. Don’t kid yourself, that makes a difference!
The organization of the library is very well thought out. Aisles are big and spacious and the setup of where certain books are makes sense even to a first-​time visitor.
It’s nice to go to a library and have to access the Internet without jumping through a bunch of hoops. Thanks, Warren-​Newport!

After a brief time in my life where I was making too much money to be found in a public library, life gave me lemons so I made a trip to the library.
I think this would be a good premise for a movie, where some snobby rich dude finds true love with either a librarian or a random patron after being knocked down the corporate ladder. It would probably star Hugh Grant because he would bumble about with the books and that’d be great. Also while he’s stammering through his lines in the usual Hugh Grant way, the people at the library could tell him to shut up. I suspect there won’t be a problem finding extras for that scene. The love interest could be Renee Zellweger because at the end of the movie, she dies due to book poisoning.
Anyway, the building is nice and as you would expect they have a wide variety of books and dvds. There’s also computers for use.
Now, to nitpick: The Warren Newport library is confusing because it’s the gurnee library. Why don’t they just call it the Gurnee Library? I can never remember the URL so it takes an extra 10 seconds for me to google it. the website is useful since they have the online catalog and you can renew your stuff without going outside.
Nit #2 is that the location of the card catalog PCs is slightly obscure and far away from the non-​fiction books. To look for something you have to take a small hike, which is no easy feat when you’re carrying some other books too. It’d be better if they didn’t have one central catalog cluster but spread it around the place. It’s like if Target put all their price checking machines together. Makes no sense, right?
Nit#3 is the parking. When the front parking is full the other parking is pretty far from the entrance. Seems it could have been designed better.
Other than that the library is a nice place to get some reading materials and maybe film a movie.

Probably the best thing to do In Gurnee is come here. LOVE it here.
They offer lots of computers (at least 30) plus allow you to use their public wifi in the desks and tables scattered all around the library. Book rental is 4 weeks, DVD is from 5 days to 2 weeks. (2 weeks for almost every workout video out there) If you can’t find a book or video on shelf you can just place a hold, you’ll get it in days. You can also renew materials in the easy to use online website.
Oh and the best part, they have a cute bookmobile that visits popular areas!

The reason I am adding this library to my list of used bookstores is because of Bookends, their little used bookstore. They seem to have a nice turn over and rarely do I leave without a purchase. The books fall between $.50-​$ 3.00, most seem to be a $ 1.

My favorite library in the area. Great staff, very helpful. A very good book selection, not just in new releases but non-​fiction as well. I really like the CD and DVD section as it is well organized and I have not had any problem with the media.
The gift shop is something I would never go for and the coffee shop is high priced for what they serve, so I by-​pass both of those every time.
Love the self-​check-​out.

warren newport is something serious. the staff is so helpful and they have a self-​checkout [that includes dvds — can you say added bonus?] in case you’re having one of those ‘oh goodness, no one can see my hair’ or ‘i feel like doing this myself’ kinda days.
either way, they have an amazing collection and 24-​hour drop off for all you procrastinators out there.

I love this library. I can use my Waukegan library card here since I live in the Gurnee Park District. I like Gurnee library better than Waukegan, they have a bigger selection, the people are more helpful and it’s closer to my house…
