GEPL Reads: Supplies 4 Success
Through Monday, August 21
There's just over 24 hours left in the library's summer reading program! Remember to log your reading time and books to help give community children in need the supplies necessary to succeed.

When kids and adults collectively reach the library's summer reading goals, the Friends of the Library and the Library Foundation have each pledged funds to Supplies 4 Success, a grassroots, charitable organization based in Glen Ellyn that provides school supply kits and backpacks for local in-need students. The donations will provide 80 local children with a backpack full of school supplies.
