Kids' Korner at Lake County courthouse marks 25 years
Staff at the Lake County courthouse in Waukegan marked the 25th anniversary of Kids' Korner, a safe and enjoyable area for children age 2 to 12 who are in the courthouse because their parents are conducting court business.
Since it was created in 1994, the free service has provided a haven for more than 53,000 children.
Chief Judge Jay W. Ukena said the court's staff and loyal volunteers have made Kid's Korner a friendly environment by interacting and caring for children at what could be a very stressful time.
The children's waiting room is open Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and 1:15 to 5 p.m.
