BOLINGBROOK, IL — Illinois State Rep. Dagmara “Dee” Avelar has announced that in an effort to better connect with Bolingbrook residents, she will be hosting mobile office hours two times a month for the remainder of the year.

The Bolingbrook Democrat announced that the local office hours will be held on the first Thursday and last Monday of each month throughout 2023.

“One of my priorities as a state representative is to make government accessible to all our constituents,” Avelar said in a statement released recently. “That’s why my team and I are providing mobile office hours in convenient locations throughout the district.

“I highly encourage everyone to join us, share their ideas, and take advantage of the wide array of constituent services my office provides.”

On the first Thursday of every month, office hours will be held from noon until 2 p.m. at the Fountaindale Public Library, which is located at 300 W. Briarcliff Rd. in Bolingbrook. This includes the dates of March 2, April 6, June 1, July 6, Aug. 3, Sept. 7, Oct. 5, Nov. 3, and Dec. 7.

Mobile office hours will also be available on the last Monday of each month from noon until 2 p.m. at the White Oak Public Library, which is located at 121 E. 8th Street in Lockport.

Due to state holidays, May and December’s office hours will occur on the third Monday of the month. Office hours will be offered on March 27, April 24, May 22, June 26, July 31, Aug. 28, Sept. 25, Oct. 30, Nov. 27, and Dec. 18.

“The opinions and concerns of our community members play a pivotal role as I craft my legislative agenda,” Avelar said. “Mobile office hours are another way to ensure your voice is heard so I can best represent you in Springfield. My team and I look forward to meeting with you all, hearing your concerns, and connecting you with state services.”
