Waukegan blood drive

The Waukegan Public Library is hosting a blood drive Tuesday, Dec. 30, 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Bradbury Room at the library at 128 North County St., Waukegan. The blood drive is sponsored by LifeSource, Illinois' largest blood center. Officials say blood donations dip during the holiday season as routine donors take extended vacations and travel, so more public drives are needed to maintain local blood inventory. Appointments for the blood drive are preferred, but all walk-ins are welcome. Donors can schedule their appointment by calling LifeSource at (877) 543-3768 or visiting www.lifesource.org and using the code WK28. Blood donors must be at least 17 years old (or 16 years old with parental consent).
