The Lake Zurich Area Community Information Network website is maintained by the Ela Area Public Library. This site strives to be a gateway to information about the communities of Lake Zurich, Kildeer, Long Grove, Hawthorn  Woods, and Deer Park in Ela Township. Due to longstanding partnerships between the Library and several local organizations, such as the Ela Historical Society, some unique information is available online only through this site (e.g., local history texts, photographs).

Please note that this site is not meant to be a comprehensive directory of links to all organizations, including businesses, located in the Lake Zurich area. Only links to key community organizations are included.
