We have a full schedule of programs and events available for all ages in our Winter Newsletter. Story Times, Book Clubs, Lego Club, Teen Game Night, and Movie Matinees are resuming.

We're excited to also be introducing some new programs including a True Crime Book Club, Crafternoons, and Virtual Author Conversations with Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Jasmine Guillory (made possible by Illinois Libraries Present).

Leave notes for your friends on the fridge or your locker with your own set of letter magnets! Pick up your kit at the Youth Desk anytime during our open hours between Jan. 18-22 (the library is closed Monday, January 17 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day).

The bestselling and award-winning author of Mexican Gothic discusses her newest book, Velvet Was the Night, and her genre-defying mashups of cultural noir and Lovecraftian horror. Silvia Moreno-Garcia will be joined in conversation with author Gus Moreno. Join us on Zoom. Register by visiting: https://bit.ly/ILP_SilviaMoreno-Garcia

This event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present, a statewide collaboration between public libraries offering high-quality events.
