Waukegan Public Library, located at 128 North County Street in Waukegan, Illinois, operates in the libraries industry and employs between 51 and 200 people. The main facility sits in a government complex with municipal and county buildings, and it first opened for service in 1965. In 2006 the library opened the Hinkston Park Branch, a 203-square-foot facility located in the Hinkston Park Field House at 800 North Baldwin Avenue, to serve western Waukegan. In 2008 the library repurposed 2,200 square feet in the Children's Department to create an Early Learning Center offering interactive, bilingual displays and programs for children from birth to seven years and their families. In 2009, portions of the lower level were renovated to create the Literacy Suite, a 3,200-square-foot space providing free one-on-one tutoring for adults and free group classes including Adult Basic Education, Family Literacy, and bilingual computer classes. The organization maintains a website at https://waukeganpl.org and provides services such as adult and family literacy, early childhood learning, and computer instruction.
