Sen. Christine Radogno, Rep. Jim Durkin, Rep. Ron Sandack, and IPPL will host our 2nd annual jobs fair featuring companies from all over the area. It will include breakout sessions on Stand-Out Resumes, Successful Interviewing, and Networking Your Way to a New Job.

Complete our Family Challenge for a chance to win an IPPL throw blanket! 

The Family Challenge is a simple bingo-style activity which is part of our Homemade Readers Summer Reading Challenge. To mark a spot on their cards, participants may need to "download a song, movie, or tv show on Hoopla," "ask a librarian for a book recommendation," and/or "access a magazine on Zinio." Once participants have filled out a row, column, or diagonal, they have completed the Family Challenge! View the Family Challenge bingo card here.

Many of the activities are difficult for children to do on their own, so the idea is to get the whole family involved. Kids should sign up with their household. Adults can sign up as individuals or with their household. (Limit one entry per household.) The yellow Family Challenge cards can be found at the Kids & Teens and Adult Ask Us desks. 

Participants should turn in their completed cards to the Kids & Teens Ask Us Desk to be entered into our weekly drawings. We will be giving away two IPPL throw blankets each week through Aug. 10!
