Have you visited the Zine Garden yet?

The Zine Garden is still up on the first floor of the Main Library, next to our workshop and media spaces. You can pick and read any zine you like. From short stories to instructional manuals, there is something for everyone!

Thank you so much to all who donated your zines! This display would not have been possible without your generosity and creativity!

Have you visited this year's Storywalk?

This year's Storywalk had a warm opening last month, and it will stay up through the summer. It is a great place to bring your kids and introduce them to the joys of reading while being active!

Thank you so much to all of our donors and sponsors for making this year of Storywalk such a success! This wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for your generosity!

Summer is almost here, and that means the Palatine Library District Summer Reading Program is just around the corner!

This year, we have decided to sponsor the event! As such, we added a few things to this year's prize baskets, including an Owala water bottle and a LEGO Set.

Summer reading begins June 1st. We hope you join us, and we thank you for the support that made our gift basket contributions possible!

There is still time to donate!

If you want to contribute to this year's season of Storywalk, the deadline is today! Storywalk allows families and community members to enjoy reading and the outdoors together. Your money will allow a new story to be added to the panels.

No contribution is too small to be appreciated. With a donation of $100, you can dedicate a panel to a person or group.

You can contribute by clicking the donate button in the link: https://www.ppldf.org/makeadonation.html

Thank you for your generosity and for another great fundraising year!

Storywalk named panel sponsor- The Gillies family

In memory of Sandy Gillies, "The Book Lady":

"We have lived in Palatine for 13 years and the library is why we moved to Palatine. Miss Traci in the Youth department is so welcoming and all the staff is wonderful. The library is also a very inclusive space and safe for anyone to come and feel included in the community. Palatine library creates this amazing story-walk to get our youngest readers engaged in not only reading but walking to read the next page of the story keeping our youth and families active in community with reading. Our favorite "Book Lady" Sandy Gillies passed away in March and our family couldn't think of a better way to honor her memory than by sponsoring a page of the Story Walk this year. We have sponsored for a few years now honoring different organizations that we support. This year we honor one of our own. The Gillies family LOVES the library!"

We thank the Gilles family for their contribution to this year's Storywalk. If you wish to dedicate a panel, you can do so by clicking the donate button on our website:

Thank you so much for your support of the library!
