Wild Night Cancelled

We had to cancel the Wild Night at the Library on June 5 because of low registration...but we've still got tons of programs going on during the Summer Reading Program, like a visit from Big Run Wolf Ranch on June 6 and Professor Marvel's Flea Circus on June 13.

Come in to the library or call to register for a program today!

Wild Night at the Library!

Have you ever wanted to sneak through the stacks after hours? Looking for a fun way to spend a Friday night? Like pizza, karaoke or Dance Dance Revolution?

New Lenox Public Library is holding its first ever Wild Night at the Library on Friday, June 5. Kids can sign up to come and spend the evening with friends, food and fun.

Since this is a fundraiser for the Summer Reading Program, there's a small fee for registering, $15 per kid, but we cap the cost at $35 for any more than 2 kids per family.

Spaces are limited, and are filling up fast, but a parent/guardian has to register in person.

Call the library at 815.485.2605 and ask for Youth Services if you have any questions!
