Fall Programs Coming Up!

Our new fall brochure is out now, and registration for many programs starts in the next two weeks! In addition to our old favorites like Art Club, Wiggle Worms, Simply Silly and Tales & Tunes, we've added a preschool program called Treasure Hunters on Monday afternoons.

We're also welcoming back Pajamapalooza from a year off! Tuesday nights will be pajama-riffic with crafts, games and stories for kids ages 6 and up.

You can view our brochure here, or stop in the library and pick one up!

Summer Wrap-Up

Thanks to all those who participated in the summer reading program! This year, we had 1611 kids register in our big kids program, and 135 babies under the age of three register in our new program - and more than 600 kids finished reading for 12 hours or more!
All the kids who finished the program were invited to our final party at Haunted Trails in Joliet for some pizza and pop on August 7. We had a blast!

We also added a new face to the Youth Services Department - a black bear that you guys named J.K. Growling. Stop in and visit J.K., as well as Sahara and Tigerlily!

Next year's theme will be spooooooky...stay tuned for details!
