Rainy Day(s) Suggestions

Springtime in the Chicagoland area has been more like "raintime," as we spent the months of April, May, and June in a soggy state. Here at the library we are hoping that the official start of summer this Sunday, June 21st will also be the (un)official end of all this rain. However, this wet weather does offer the perfect excuse for staying indoors with a good book, movie, or magazine (or, if you are like some of us who can be a bit gluttonous when it comes to these matters, a big stack of books, movies and magazines). You can just call us 'enablers,' because we're always adding new titles to our shelves, which only encourages this kind of behavior.

With our summer reading program already underway, we're working hard to provide our patrons with a wide variety of books. We are having an additional raffle for all patrons who read a non-fiction title as part of their 5 books, so this week's book display is highlighting some of the best of our collection of food-related memoirs, "Food Life: Memoirs from Cooks, Chefs, and Everyday Food Lovers." You really should check one out. Or two, or three, or four...don't worry, we have more.
