Our Adult Summer Reading weekly contest is almost over. Since June 4th, patrons have been voting for their favorites from a selection of 32 popular novels. Each week, the winning books from that round moved on and one lucky voter won a gift card to Tap House Grill. The field of fiction has been narrowing. We’re down to just two challengers. On July 30th, we’ll finally see which book reigns supreme!
Come on up to the 3rd floor to cast your vote and take a chance to win the last Tap House Grill gift card. It's head-to-head between The Help by Kathryn Stockett and the Harry Potterseries by J. K. Rowling. Which will you choose?
We are going to be rocking, rolling, jazzing, rapping, poetry-slamming, dancing, singing and moving all summer long. DPPL's 2015 Ready to the Rhythm is going to be FANTASTIC! READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE.
DPPL's collection of picture books for kids on the 2nd floor will be temporarily unavailable both on the floor and in the catalog beginning Friday, May 15.
We are installing new, forward facing shelving and when the project is complete, it will be awesome! The project is expected to take about 2 weeks.
Free Comic Book Day is an annual tradition. Local comic book stores let patrons choose from several special books for anyone looking to explore the world of comics. There are selections from both Marvel and DC, as well as many independent publishers. This year, we’ll also be celebrating at Des Plaines Public Library!
