Fremont Library will again host the AARP Tax Aids to prepare and e-file your state and federal taxes on Thursday afternoons and Friday mornings beginning February 6 through April 11. To make an appointment use the online registration link at www.fremontlibrary.org/taxes or call the library and they will assist you. If you have any questions for the tax preparers, you may call and leave a voice message at 224 424-3118.

Beginning on February 6, on Thursdays between 6 pm and 8 pm, library patrons with an income of $79000 or less in 2024 may complete their tax returns online for free with an IRS certified counselor on hand for questions. Computers and a printer will be provided. Basic computer skills are required.

The AARP Defensive Driving Course will be held on Tuesday, April 29 and Wednesday April 30 from 9:00 am til 1:00 pm in the lower level of our building. Call Nancy at 847 223-2847 to register. You must attend both classes. $20 for AARP members $25 for all others. The class is free if you have United Health Care Insurance through AARP.

We have scheduled a document shredding event for Saturday, May 31 from 8:30 am til 11:30 am . Enter through the highway department at 22376 Erhart Road. If the truck fills earlier than 11:30, the event will end.

You may bring the equivalent of 3 boxes to shred. Staples and paper clips are fine. The most efficient way is to place your items in a paper grocery bag. No plastic bags. To keep the line moving, you will not be able to exit your car and watch the shredding.

This shredding event is for documents only. Please recycle your coupons, magazines and junk mail with your weekly recycling. They will not be accepted.

Pop your trunk and we will take the items. Do not leave your car.

We will not accept any binders or hanging file folders or electronic items because they catch on fire in the truck. If the truck fills up before 11:30, the event will be over.



We look forward to seeing you and appreciate your patience.

The Kirk Players’ children’s show brings Mowgli and the whole gang together for The Jungle Book, by Joseph Robinette, based on the book by Rudyard Kipling. Mowgli is a curious and brave young boy who is lovingly raised by a family of wolves in the jungle. Mowgli learns about friendship and loyalty from his animal family, including the bumbling bear Baloo, the wise and kind panther Bagheera, and other jungle creatures as they protect him from the tiger Shere Khan. As he grows, Mowgli must decide whether he wants to stay in the jungle with his friends or go back to the village with the humans. This timeless story will appeal to children of all ages and features a menagerie of delightful characters. Coming to the Mundelein High School Theatre stage on Friday, March 28, 2025, and Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 7pm, with matinees at 2pm on Saturday, March 29 and Sunday, March 30.
