Several months ago, I represented the library at a meeting with local officials including the Village of Homer Glen and our neighbors Homer Township, the Highway Department, and Woodbine Golf Course to discuss improvements to 151st Street. There are several roadway areas designated to improve and 151st Street was discussed as a priority. With the commitment and collaboration between all of us, these improvements are now underway.151st Street changes include widening the roadway in front of the Homer Library and the addition of new turning lanes into both the Library and the Township/Sports Complex road. These lanes will greatly reduce the traffic congestion on 151st Street, especially during peak after-school hours and during busy Saturday sport activities and library events.
LEADERSHIP & COLLABORATIONWe thank the Village of Homer Glen, Homer Township, and the Highway Department for coordinating the planning and work effort that provides such a direct benefit to our residents, including library customers! This is a wonderful example of various community entities working together to improve a roadway issue.

too bad the Library isn't even getting a turn lane anymore since the Village had to scale back on the project do to lack of funding.
