Precinct Finder

http://www.thewillcountyclerk.com/connect/site/publicpages/PrecinctFinder.jsp

The above link will allow you to find where someone votes by their address. Do not put full street names in only use two or three letters since the program can't recognize the full street name.

The primary election is Feb. 2nd with the general election being Nov. 2.

Today is the first day of Early Voting and January 28th is the last day.

Any questions, please ask me.

Thanks,
Sara

LETTERS TO THE TROOPS

The new "red-roofed house" (near the front doors of the library) will serve as our collection box for letters to the troops. Blank letter forms are on the "house" and the master forms are in the workroom taped to the cabinet. Instructions promoting this program have been placed throughout the library. Everyone and anyone is welcome to write a letter (in pen) and deposit it into the house. The library will mail all letters sometime next month. Show your support and write a letter to our troops!
