Colleges are more competitive than ever while the application process has become more cumbersome. At our College Admissions in the 21st Century program on December 6th at 7:30 pm Hanna Stotland, an admissions consultant, will offer parents and high schoolers an overview of the college admissions process and how students can find the right path. The program will present the latest advice on standardized testing, essays, campus visits, how to choose once you’ve got your acceptance letters in hand, and more. Bring your questions!

Michelangelo's Paintings

Whether or not you attended our first Michelangelo program in July, you'll want to make sure you come to our next one on Monday, December 5th at 7:00 pm. In this program, entitled Michelangelo's Paintings: Process, Patronage and Subjects, art historian Jeff Mishur will return to focus on the paintings of this Renaissance master. He will talk about the iconography of the works as well as patronage, while discussing works including the Temptation of St. Anthony, the Sistine Chapel and The Last Judgment. If you haven't tried one of our art programs, this one is definitely not to be missed!

Library Newsletter, Hot off the Press

It's getting chilly outside but this winter the library has lots of great programming to bring you in and warm you up! You can prepare for the Oscars with Michael Phillips, learn about Glencoe's greenest home, explore Michelangelo's paintings, receive college admission tips and get great ideas for your spring garden. Our newest issue of Excerpts will tell you all about these programs while also providing details on our Winter Reading Club and our usual great kids' programs, book clubs, movie programs, technology classes and much, much more. You will soon be receiving the next issue of Excerpts in the mail but in the meantime you can access it online. We hope you're as excited by some of these programs as we are to bring them to you!
