Wadsworth Road, Beach Park, IL 60099, or call 847-746-1770 to ask about the process. Written requests are always the best approach because they create a paper trail.

Some things can be held back. Personal cell numbers and some law enforcement records may be exempt. But office phone numbers, department lines, and general contact details are almost always public. Most simple requests cost nothing. If copies are involved, there may be a small per-page charge. The village will quote you the price before they start copying.
