"Read to Succeed" - Winter Reading for Kids
Calling all readers! Get rewarded for your reading! Register for the Youth Services Winter Reading Program starting Monday, January 23rd, when you will receive a book bag, pencil, and reading log. Read as many books as you like about hockey, winter sports, or any other topic. Turn in your reading log once a week and get prizes! Prizes include Chicago Wolves items. The reading program runs until Sunday, March 4th. The library thanks the Chicago Wolves for their generous donations to this year's Winter Reading Program!
Conversation Circle
Our Conversation Circle is a place to practice English conversation skills in a friendly, informal setting. It meets every Tuesday evening at 7 PM, and runs for 12 weeks, with the last session on 4/3. While any topic (except religion and politics) can be discussed, the focus of this new Circle will be slang expressions. Make a list of those that are confusing, and we will explore them and many others.

Gaga for Google
Lady Gaga has a huge fan base; in fact, she has been "liked" by over 46 million people on Facebook. While I am not that crazy about Gaga, I am a fan of a phenomenon that’s even bigger than L.G.: Google.
Crazy for Chocolate
Just in time for Valentine's Day, chef Rosemary Deneen (from Food is Fun!) shares her expertise on all things chocolate. Recipes and samples will be provided.
