Local History Interviews
| |
May is National Historic Preservation Month and we are interviewing long-time residents of the community to preserve our local history. The purpose of these local history interviews is to create a picture of what life is like today and how it has changed and continues to change, including the diversity of ages, cultures, and backgrounds within the community. Future generations will be able to view these interviews to gain an understanding of how the community has evolved. If you or someone you know would like to share your experiences, please contact Joe Popowitch, Reference Librarian, at (630) 887-8760 ext. 240. Learn more about our Local History Interviews.

Veterans History Project
| |
The personal stories of our veterans make history come to life, and we are working with the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. to collect and preserve these experiences. U.S. veterans of any war - including recent conflicts - can help us by sharing their stories as part of the Veterans History Project. We are also interested in the stories of U.S. civilians who actively supported war efforts (such as war industry workers, USO workers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, etc.). If you or someone you know would like to share your experiences, please contact Joe Popowitch, Reference Librarian, at (630) 887-8760 ext. 240. Learn more about our Veterans History Project.
