Dear Subscriber: What better way to welcome spring than an after-hours party at the library. You'll enjoy food, drinks, entertainment, inter-active programs and more, all for one low admission price. And, it's for a good cause. Proceeds benefit the Des Plaines Public Library Foundation and the Rotary Foundation. See you there! Leslie Steiner, Editor, Head of Public Information Services
