Are you overdue for an adventure? Get ready to plan your Library Crawl!
The Tolono Public Library District is excited to be a part of the 8th Annual IHLS Library Crawl. This is a fun time of visiting other public libraries and discovering their wonderful collections and building spaces.
Did you know that if you visit another Illinois Heartland Library System library that you can use your Tolono Library card to check out materials there? Once you’re finished with your materials, you can return them to us, and we’ll take care of the rest! The Library Crawl is a fun way to discover more benefits of having a library card. Stop by the Library to pick up a physical copy of the Official Passport or download it from our website, then visit at least 5 other participating libraries in our library system before the end of Saturday, October 31st and have them stamp your passport! *If you are downloading the passport at home, it’s recommended to print it both sides and on the short edge. Bring your stamped passport back to the Tolono Library by closing time on Monday, November 2nd to be entered into a drawing for a cozy prize basket! Explore alone, with friends, or take the family (one passport per family).
October is also Domestic Abuse Awareness month, and this Saturday, October 3rd from 2:00-4:00 poet Arianna Cherry will be joining us to read some of her poetry from her published book of poems “A Normal Kind of Love.” She will be joined by Becky Comstock from the DOVE organization which “is an organization that engages religious institutions, volunteers, and advocates seeking to coordinate efforts to address unmet needs and social injustices.” RSVP to listen to Arianna’s poetry and DOVE’s message on our website or by calling the library.
There are a bunch of other fun October programs coming up at the library! See the full list at tolonolibrary.org.
