Eli's Donation Creation benefits Morton Library

Eli's Donation Creation for the month of July is "A Midsummer Night's Chai". During the month of July, one dollar of this drink purchase will be donated to the Library Fund at the Morton Community Foundation, benefiting Morton Library.

"A Midsummer Night's Chai" is a delightfully refreshing blended iced chai tea. Add decaf vanilla for a little coffee flavor or vanilla protein for a milkshake taste. This is a fantastic new drink dreamt up by Eli's one and only Lauren who you see working the counter most mornings. Thank you for supporting the library and thanks to Eli's for featuring us this month!

New Feature: eSequels, A Guide to Novels in a Series

Have you ever finished a book only to find it was #3 in a series? Has a friend recommended a book to you, but all you can remember is that it featured a main character named Alissa who lives in Glenbrooke?

Morton Library has a new service that can help you find that title and read series fiction in order: eSequels: A reader's guide to novels in a series.

eSequels is current and complete. You will be able to find the newest title by your favorite author, subject, character, or setting. There are also brief annotations that describe each title without giving away any surprise endings. eSequels focuses on American and British adult series fiction. 

You will find a link to eSequels on our website under Books & eBooks, Services, Online Resources, and Readers' Corner.
