Welcome to Rocky's Recs, Des Plaines Public Library's NEW monthly newsletter for kids and families. READ NOW
Each month the Youth Services department will share favorite materials we've read, listened to, and watched--both new and old. In this issue, we're sharing our favorite books published in 2020.
Happy Reading From Your Youth Services Team! Ami, Becky, Cheryl, Miss Elizabeth, Miss Esli, Miss Steph, Mrs. Liz, Mrs. Murphy, Sally, Stephanie G., and Stephanie S.
This week we bid a fond farewell to The Great DPPL Bake-Along. Since we began the project back in April, we've baked (and eaten) nearly two dozen batches of literary treats and found new ways to experience our favorite books. Thank you for coming along!
Winter Reading for adults begins Friday January 8th and continues through February 28th.
Read Books, Answer Trivia Questions and Enter for a chance to win fabulous prizes. There are two contests this year; Reading and Trivia.
Reading Contest.
Submit an entry for each book you read between January 8th and February 28th. Prizes will be drawn and the winners notified during the first week of March
Trivia Contest.
A new weekly trivia question will be posted each week on Sunday. Answer the question correctly and you could win a gift card to a local restaurant. We will draw a new winner each week.
How to Enter:
Ballot Boxes are at the library. They will be at the carryout desk while the library is closed if the rest of the building is closed to the public or at the 3rd floor desk when service resumes.
