This Week at AAPLD: 10/23-10/29

Spooky season is upon us, and the Youth Services staff have been busy visiting schools and getting ready for Halloween programs! Thank you so much to Algonquin Lakes Elementary School for having us for your Book Fair/Ice Cream social! Marisa and Kimberly loved seeing so many families and fans of the Library.

Kimberly and Stephanie attended Lincoln Prairie Elementary School’s Trunk or Treat (pictured above) and had so much fun! The costumes were so creative, and we saw lots and lots of our favorite families there. We have several more outreach events coming in the next week. Please stop and say hi if you see us out and about!

Join us this week for lots of Halloween fun! We can’t wait to see you.

Registration is now open for October and November Programs!  Here’s a PDF calendar of our October programs.
