MORE EGVPL WEBSITE/BOOKGROUPS

The Elk Grove Village Library publishes a quarterly newsletter called HIGHLIGHTS. It briefly lists upcoming events in Adult Services, Youth Services, and general public types of events--movies, speakers, classes, etc. It is mailed to Elk Grove residents, but you can also pick up a copy at the library, usually at the circulation desk. However, if you've lost your copy and no more are available, or if you don't have access to it and want to check on some event, you can read it online.
On the home page for the library website (see link in sidebar), there is a way to get to a PDF file of the newsletter (Adobe Acrobat Reader must be on your computer to view it, though). Just click on Programs and then click on the link to HIGHLIGHTS. Sometimes Programs also has more information on specific upcoming events. The last page of the HIGHLIGHTS has a "Calendar-at-a-Glance" for the next 3 months, information on hours and special closings, what will be on display in the glass cases and in the large meeting room, a list of the names of the Trustees, and a listing of the upcoming Book Discussion Group meetings.
There are two Book Discussion Groups. One meets the first Tuesday of each month at 10:30 a.m. (I believe at the Senior Center). They will be discussing Haven Kimball's A Girl Named Zippy on April 5 and Susan Vreeland's Girl in Hyacinth Blue on May 3. The second group meets every other month on the third Tuesday here at the library. They will be discussing Carolyn Hart's Letter from Home on March 15 and Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees on May 17. For more information, call Chris in Adult Services at 847-439-0447, extension 271 or 272.
