Wilmington library fills need in tough economy

Check out an article in the Daily Herald News about the library. The article also includes a picture of Nikeda and preschoolers doing their rendition of "Do Your Ears Hang Low" with pantyhoses.

Children's Area Reorganization

Please excuse our mess as we reorganize our picture books. We are trying something new. We are putting all picture books in bins so children can see the covers for easier browsing. The bins will be labeled to help with locating books. If you need any help finding materials, please see Nikeda or another staff member.

Thanks!

Family Movie Event

See a special screening of
Monsters vs. Aliens
(a Dreamworks film)

Who: Children with special needs and their families
(siblings are welcome, too!)

Where: Marcus Theater in Orland Park, IL

When: Saturday, March 28th at 10:00 a.m.
(before theater is open to general public)

Cost: $5.50 for ticket and popcorn (you pay when you arrive at the
theater – cash & credit cards accepted)

Does your child have trouble visiting movie theaters? Introduce him/her
to the movie theater experience in an understanding environment
without the worry of disruptive behavior causing a scene. Use this as a practice run before going to a crowded theater with the general public.

**Registration is not necessary but approximate numbers will
help determine staffing needs**
