and adults. Events begin with Mr. D's Magic Show at 2 p.m. on
Sunday, June 10. Registration also begins on June 10 at the

are funded in part by generous contributions from Friends of the
Library, CoVest Banc, and the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce

All children who read at least eight books will
earn a prize. Programs for children include preschool movies,
drop-in storytimes, creating a mural, a costume party, an
orienteering scavenger hunt, origami instruction, science
activities, and a young performers' play.
Adults will pick up game cards when they register.
Their cards will be stamped as they read and complete various
reading-related activities to enter the grand prize drawing.
New for teens this year are three poetry
workshops. Participants will give a poetry reading at the final
party -- an Ice Cream Social for the whole family, with music by
the Prairie Brass Band, on Sunday, August 5, 2-4 p.m.
