Service Interruption: Friday, October 16th after 9 pm – Tuesday, October 20th morning
Our network is growing! We are excited to welcome Rolling Meadows Library and Wauconda Area Public Library to our consortium. This means more resources at your fingertips, from books to movies and more. During this period, please note that our app, calendar and some additional online resources will be temporarily unavailable. Rest assured, none of your items will be due during this time and you can still check out materials. Full service is expected to resume on Tuesday, October 20th. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this exciting time!
The Youth Services Team loves going on adventures together through books, movies, video games, and much more. Find out where your favorite librarians have traveled this month!
June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and we felt it fitting to cover what pride is, as well as a brief history of the event.
And a LOT of book recommendations! (see below)
Originally, LGBTQ+ Pride events took place on June 28th to commemorate the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, which began on June 28th after the Stonewall Inn was raided by law enforcement and lasted until July 2nd.
Since then, Pride has expanded significantly.
The month of June was declared Gay and Lesbian Pride Month in 2000 by President Bill Clinton.
