Looking for a special, relaxing event for your teens and tweens to get rid of negative energy?

Catarina from Soul Dance Vibrational Sound Therapy will be hosting a stress-releasing and rejuvenating calm session next Monday, June 22nd, at 4 PM at Lemont Public Library District for teens and tweens ages 10-17. Registration for this free program is open at the link below in the comments!

We cannot wait for Catarina to join us from Soul Dance Vibrational Sound Therapy!

She's coming in to work with teens and tweens age 10-17 on relaxing and rejuvenating. Let's get rid of that negative energy and stress and learn together some techniques for replacing it with calm.

Join us for Sounds So Relaxing on Monday, June 22 at 4 PM. The program is free, but we do ask all attendees to register. Sign up today at: https://lemontlibrary.libnet.info/event/16302505

A special thank you to The Friends of the Lemont Public Library for sponsoring this program!

***EVENT UPDATE***
The shred event start time has changed to 10 AM.
There is a last-minute scheduling conflict with our shred truck, so we are moving the start time back. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for understanding.

As spring cleaning wraps up, we know you probably have bags or boxes full of private and sensitive documents waiting to be disposed.

The wait is over!

On Saturday, June 20, we return to Lemont Bank & Trust for their annual Shred Event. We will be there from 9 AM - 12 PM, waiting for you to bring all your documents. A truck will be on-site to properly dispose of your most sensitive information.

This is a drive-up event. Please enter on Archer Avenue at the KinderCare entrance to line up. (We cannot accept any early shredding.)

As you clean and empty and purge, be sure to save all your books, CDs, games, vinyl records, and puzzles. Because The Friends of the Lemont Public Library will take them!

Mark your calendars, because on Saturday, June 27, The Friends are hosting a Donation Drive to collect all of your unwanted materials. The event will take place in the library parking lot, so you don't even have to come in (although we hope you do - we love seeing you!). The collected items will be used for the upcoming book sale in November.

Every day is the right day to get a library card! But don't just get one for you -- be sure to get one for everyone in the family 🤩

Don't have a library card yet? We would love to help you with that. Stop in today and let the library open doors to worlds that need exploring!

TODAY IS THE DAY!

We hope you will join us today from 12 - 1 PM for our annual Summer Learning Kickoff Party. Join us on the library lawn for Dan Gogh's Red, White, & Blue Patriotic Show. Packed with magic, puppets, and plenty of family-friendly fun, this heartfelt tribute is the perfect way to honor our great country with wonder, laughter, and appreciation for the land of the free and the home of the brave!

While you're here, be sure to sign up for the Summer Learning Challenge. The all-ages program runs now through July 31. Earn prizes at 5, 10, 15, and 20 days logged. Every 5 days logged also earns you a ticket to enter your choice of our grand prize raffles. Be sure to enter your tickets into the drawings by July 31. This program is for everyone, so we have all-ages prizes, too!

We love reading and learning along with you all summer long! We hope to spend today kicking off the season together 😎
