A few years ago, Gail Borden Library was your average library. The books that it held could probably be found at just about every other library around, and there was nothing special at all about the facilities.
That changed. Now, after being re-built across the street, Gail Borden Library truly is something special. Architecturally the building is splended, and the interior does not disappoint, either. The layout is great and well-organized. There is plenty of room for sitting and studying, for browsing aisles, for using computers.
The book selection is still comparable to other libraries, but that's alright--Elgin has a gem with this library, which truly brings a sense of magnificence to the city.

I had never been in a Hobby Lobby until I received a git card. I visited this location and was very happy with the selection of various items. They have everything from art supplies to ready to be finished furniture, and display pieces for the home and garden. I left filled with ideas for projects. This is definitely a great place to get the creativity flowing.

Elgin Lanes is really close to my home, which makes it easier for me and the kids to visit. The bowling alley is kind of outdated, no bells and whistles (like Cosmic Bowling), but it is fun to just go and bowl a game or two and head back out. They have a small pool table and game area and also offer weekly leagues.

Espos is on Elgin's east side. They are always updating or remodeling. They offer a banquet room and birthday parties. The food at the concession stand is pretty good. There is a pro shop on site. My son and I have done the Kid/Adult league on Saturday morning. It was fun. He got a Cartoon Network bowling ball and bag. Their lane fees are the cheapest in the area. Cosmic bowling is available at certain times also.
