ReDiscover: Celebrating Home
| |
 For more than ten years, IPPL and neighboring libraries presented programs, book discussions, and other events inspired by one book in a program called The Big Read. Our new collaboration, called ReDiscover, has the same great programs but focuses on one theme rather than one book. Learn more about this year's event at re-discover.org. Registration begins March 2 at calendar.ippl.info, by calling 630/887-8760, in person at the library, or at re-discover.org.
