Happening at the library
Celebrating Our Planet Every Day
But here at the library, we don’t stop at just one time of year to appreciate our planet; we continuously work on initiatives that promote environmental stewardship and sustainability.
Did You Know?
One of the many ways Des Plaines Public Library is contributing to a greener planet is through our Green Team.
Comprised of passionate individuals committed to environmental conservation, our Green Team works tirelessly to reduce waste, promote recycling initiatives, and educate our community on how they can make a positive impact on the environment.
Earth Month Activities
Throughout April, we have a lineup of events and activities designed to inspire and educate everyone on the importance of environmental conservation.
From a story time centered around Earth Day to an adult plant swap, there’s something for everyone to participate in.
We encourage you to check out our event calendar for details on upcoming activities and join us in celebrating our planet!
