A Note from our Youth Services Manager:
Dear Parents,

As you probably know, because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, all of our in-library events have been canceled. But don't worry! The library still has many fun activities planned for this summer.

  • Check out our YouTube channel for interactive videos.
  • Our Events page on our website has many exciting options.
  • Also, be sure to sign up for our Summer Reading Program where children can win a gift card from Amazon, GameStop, The Field Museum, Side Street Studio Arts, Target or the Sycamore Speedway.

Our programming will also look a little different in the fall. Check out our  Facebook  page or our  website  for any new information about changes in our events.

Sincerely,
Heather Swanson
Youth Services Manager
