Summer Reading Program -- Ending Soon!

Hi everyone! Just a reminder that Saturday (July 25) is the last day to turn in your reading logs for the summer reading program. Everyone who finishes by that day will be invited to our finale party at Haunted Trails in Joliet on August 7.

Thanks to everyone who participated this year! With only a few days left, we've had 1,605 kids register for the program (and 135 babies and toddlers participate in our early literacy program) - that's a ton of kids!

Good luck finishing up in the home stretch!

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!
