Author Catherine Ryan Hyde Discusses the Pay It Forward Inspiration
In honor of National Library Card Week which runs April 14th – 20th, we are celebrating the Pay It Forward movement.
A discussion of the book will be held Thursday April 18th with a showing and discussion of the movie version on Saturday April 14th.
But it does not end there. Stop by the Readers Advisory Desk to learn how you can Pay It Forward.
Join us March 22nd at 7:00pm for our combination book discussion/movie event. We are reading the book Millions by Frank Cottrell Boyce and we will be watching the 2005 film based on the book. All kids age 10 and up are welcome. Please call youth services to register at 630-834-1176.
On February 11, 2013, at 7:00 pm , Mark and Carol Carlson-Nofsinger, owners of Nofsinger’s Auto Repair, Inc. in Lombard, will present a program entitled How to Keep Your Car Healthy. The Nofsingers, who are also active in the community, have been in the repair business since 1985 and will offer some basic tips and suggestions to help car owners keep their cars in good working condition–and to avoid, whenever possible, expensive shop repairs.
This program is free and open to the public, but those wishing to attend are asked to call the Library Check Out Desk at 630 834-1164 and register to help the library plan for seating.
The Library will hold a community Mardi Gras Party on Sunday, January 27, 2013, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
Free beads will be available to get the party-goers into the celebratory mood. The party will begin with a performance by Mike Knauf’s Dixieland Jazz Cats, who will play Dixieland style music, in honor of the world-famous Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans. After the concert, several delicious New Orleans-style food dishes will be available for purchase.
There will be no admission charge, but party-goers are asked to call ahead to the Library Check Out Desk (at 630 834-1164 extension 5) to make reservations to help plan for food and refreshments.
