Glencoe Public Library:
Rooted in History, Building for Tomorrow.

Take a “stand” for the library by enjoying a cup of lemonade on Saturday morning, September 20, at locations all over Glencoe. Glencoe kids have volunteered to run a total of 12 lemonade stands from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. with all proceeds supporting the Glencoe Public Library’s upcoming renovation.

Look for lemonade stands at these 12 locations around the village: in front of the library, Friends Park, Central School, Glencoe Beach, Duke Park, Takiff Center, Watts Park, Woodlawn Park, Green Bay Trail (at South Avenue), Shelton Park, Veterans Memorial Park, and The Grand. You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see yellow and blue balloons and kids wearing yellow t-shirts with the library logo.

Lemon-Aid Stand Day is being organized by the Capital Campaign Advisory Council, which is raising money for a major library building renovation project planned for 2026-2028. The council’s “Rooted in History, Building for Tomorrow” campaign has already hosted several informal sessions at businesses and private homes in Glencoe as well as at the library. More events will be scheduled for the fall.

For information on donating to the “Rooted in History, Building for Tomorrow” campaign, please contact the library’s executive director, Andrew Kim, or visit the Support section of this site.
