Lake Bluff Library will be temporarily pausing its passport, notary, curbside pickup, and voter registration services after October 10, 2024, due to ongoing challenges with staff capacity and availability. While these services are an important part of our commitment to the community, the current staffing constraints make it necessary to suspend them at this time.
