This Week at AAPLD: 8/7-8/13

Thanks so much for participating in Summer Reading with the Algonquin Library!

We  had over 1400 children from birth to 8th grade signed up for Summer Reading this year, with 895 finishers. Do you still have logs to turn in? Good news–prize pickup runs until Sunday, August 7. All finishers ages birth-8th grade can still come pick out a paperback book prize. We also still have a supply of t-shirts in limited sizes for readers ages 3 and up.

Algonquin cardholders are also eligible for ticket entries into our Grand Prize raffle. You should have received an email if you have tickets to enter.

For instructions on how to distribute the tickets yourself, you can click on one of the links below. Too confusing? Come on in or give us a call–staff will be happy to help you out. The Youth Services Department can be reached at (847) 458-6060 x 135.

Grand Prize winners will be drawn on Monday, August 8th.

Registration is now open for August and September Programs! Here’s a PDF of all of our August programs for kids.
