Junction Programs

 

This year, we are going beyond books and reading and encouraging people to expand their horizons by attending programs. Join us at the Junction - IPPL Junction! - to learn something new, create from scratch, and share your knowledge with your neighbors. IPPL card-holders who participate in designated Junction programs will earn entries into monthly and grand prize drawings, donated by the Friends of IPPL.

Make Some Noise Summer Reading Challenge

 

We have created a unique summer reading challenge for kids and teens which runs through Aug. 2. Not only will participants earn rewards for reading books, but they will also be rewarded for making projects and attending special events and programs at the library! It's not too late to participate! Participants can sign up in-person at the library or online. Click here for more information or to sign up. 

 

 


Memory Drive Volunteers Needed

 

We are seeking adults who would like to share stories from their youth as part of our Memory Drive program. Memory Drive is an intergenerational program in which teens will interview adults to document stories from their school years. Using A/V equipment, teens will create and edit a multimedia clip for each interview, ultimately creating a digital story collection that will be shared on the library's website and social media pages. The program will run through Aug. 8, and participants and their families will be invited to a special screening of the interview clips in August. Interested participants can email stacyp@ippl.info or call 630/887-8760 ext. 245. This project is cosponsored by the Rotary Club of Darien.
