EGVPL WEBSITE/ANNUAL BOOKSALE

The Elk Grove Village (IL) Public Library website is at: www.egvpl.org. When a really special event is coming up, a reminder is published at the top of the main page. Right now it is featuring the annual Friends booksale--one of the best organized library booksales around. It started Friday night for Friends' members and continues Saturday (9-4) and Sunday ($5 a Bag Sale--1-4). Lots of bargains, including discarded cassettes, videos, toys, games--and loads of books!!!

Also a special part of the website is the Kids Korner with info and links relating to the Youth Department. You can link to Homework Help sites, author sites, coloring pages sites, topical sites (i.e., animals, Ancient Egypt, or American Presidents), etc. Right now Kids Corner is promoting the Wolves Winter Reading Program and the up-coming Spring Fling Bunny Hop and Hat Parade in March. There is also a separate page for Teens, Teachers, and Parents.

Another special section is Book Connection. There you can find Best Seller lists, Oprah's Picks, links to Novelist and What Do I Read Next, and a recent innovation, the Online Book Club through which you can recieve, in your e-mail, a brief selection from a new book (one each weekday from the same book)--to whet your appetite and interest and get you to check the book out. A different book is featured each week for the whole week There are 7 different categories: Fiction, Non-fiction, Teen, Business, Romance, Good News, and Audio. .
