Lights Out, Everybody

Monday, October 22 at 7pm

Steve Darnall, host of Those Were the Days on WDCB, returns just before Halloween with sound clips from some of radio's best-known mystery and horror programs, including Lights Out, Escape, and Inner Sanctum. You'll hear how radio became a "Theater of the Mind" by using music,voices, and sounds to create indelible and often frightening pictures.

Enrich Your Friends & Family - September is Library Card Sign-Up Month

Every current Library cardholder who gets a friend or family member to sign-up for a La Grange Park Library card in September will be entered in a prize drawing! All they have to do is give us your name and you're entered. They will be entered, too, just for signing up.

September is also a good time to renew your card, if it will expire before December, and be entered in our drawing. To find out if your card is due to expire, call or ask the circulation staff at the front desk when you stop in.

Don't forget about your children! They love to have their own cards, and it's a great way to teach them responsibility for the items they check out.

Getting your free card is quick and easy. Stop in with two types of identification as proof of residency or property ownership (driver's license, current utility bill, voter registration, etc.). Non-residents/property owners may get a card for an annual fee of $300.

The average La Grange Park Public Library cardholder saves more than $450 a year using our services. Frequent users save even more! Get your card now and find out we can save you money and enrich your life beyond books.
