Banned Books Week Sept. 26 - Oct 3

Come to the library this week to see our display of books that have been banned or challenged in recent years, pick up a bookmark and enter a drawing to win a "I Read Banned Books" book bag. Since 1982, Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read is observed during the last week of September every year. This annual American Library Association event reminds Americans not to take their precious democratic freedom for granted. For more information, visit the website of the American Library Association.

Fines for Food Begins

As a variation on our Food for Fines program, we will donate all fines paid through October 4th to local food pantries. A monetary donation to a food pantry, as opposed to donations of food, will allow them to more efficiently address their needs. Fines for Food will not apply for payment of lost items. Pay your fines during the next two weeks and know that your money is doing some extra good!

Centennial Program: Glencoe Then and Now

Return to when streets were unpaved, chief activities were shopping at the local butchers or bakers, and children played on wooden sidewalks, as Ellen Paseltiner and Scott Javore visit the library on Sunday the 20th at 2:00 and present this Glencoe Historical Society program on our village's fascinating past. Originally created as part of Glencoe's second grade curriculum, Glencoe Then and Now has been reinterpreted for adults and is being presented as part of our Centennial celebration. Make sure you visit our Centennial site for more information on activities surrounding the Centennial.
