Westmont Public Library

We get asked about this type of event all the time, so we wanted to share this one on behalf of our friends at the Village of Westmont Environmental Improvement Committee.

ELECTRONICS & MORE RECYCLING EVENT
Saturday, August 29, 8 am - noon
31 W Quincy St, Commuter lot

For all the details about what can and cannot be accepted, be sure to check out the Village press release: westmont.illinois.gov/m/newsflash/home/detail/2379

This year's summer reading program—Plant a Seed, Read—wrapped up yesterday and we want to thank everyone who participated... including our sponsors!

As a community, we read 10,774 books for a total of 367,890 minutes.

In addition, we wanted to announce that the hummingbird was chosen as our community's favorite pollinator!

And speaking of pollinators, be sure to save the date for our first Pollinator Fest. The event will take place at the Ty Warner Pavilion off Burr Oak Drive on Saturday, September 12, from 10 am - noon.

Stop by and help us celebrate ALL of our pollinators!

This weekend, enjoy the ebook Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt by Ben Reeves on Libby—with no holds and no waiting!

It's a great weekend to be outdoors and we have the perfect reason for you to get out—a StoryWalk!

This month's StoryWalk features the book HIKE by Pete Oswald.

Enjoy the story with the whole family while you stroll through Diane Main Park—200 W 59th Street.

Simply follow the path around the lake, reading signs placed along the trail, to take in the full story.

This StoryWalk will be available through Monday, August 10!

For many years, Westmont Lions Club has been one of the Library's biggest supporters.
