Winter Reading

Stop by to get your Winter Reading Log at the Youth Services desk! 

We have changed things up a bit this year for winter reading. PreK-5th grade will have the opportunity to read, visit museums, and attend programs to work towards completing their winter reading log. Each completed log will count as a raffle ticket to our Grand Prize Drawing which includes Barnes & Noble Gift Cards, Starbucks Gift Cards, 2 Tickets to the Penguin Encounter at Shedd Aquarium, and a One Year Family Pass to the DuPage Children's Museum. Teens, grades 6 & up will have the additional opportunities to enter their raffle with the completion of the reading log that include museum visits, volunteering, attending programs, and submitting a book review for our blog. 

Ask Youth Services Staff for more details! 

Winter Reading runs until March 4th!

All We Need Is Love: February is Library Lovers' Month

Give a little love to your local library in February as we celebrate Library Lovers' Month. 


Libraries offer a limitless array of books, periodicals, cds, dvds, and information services to patrons for mere pennies. 


There are no other institutions which provide such pivotal services which are open to the public and generally free of charge. 


So why not enjoy the library by volunteering your time, attending a program, or donating a book which will be read by many for years to come?


Click on the pink "How to Love Your Library" button on the right hand side of the page to find out ways you can help your local libraries or check out the ilovelibraries.org button to learn about public library issues.  


You can also vote for why you love your library in my Library Lovers' Month poll found on the right hand side of the page. 

"A library's function is to give the public in the quickest and cheapest way information, inspiration, and recreation. If a better way than the book can be found, we should use it." 

Melvil Dewey (1851-1931)
American Librarian and Educator
