Celebrate Your Library!
National Library Week
April 15 - 21
National
Library Week is a time to celebrate the contributions of
libraries, librarians and library workers in schools, campuses
and communities nationwide - and the perfect time for
residents of the
Wauconda Area Library community to come together @ the library for
entertainment and enlightenment.
Everyday at the
Wauconda Area Library, people of all backgrounds come together
for programs, activities and classes for adults, teens and
children. Research a topic with the assistance of
professional staff, learn how to use the computer and Internet,
search for a job, use online homework tutors, and much, much more. Visit the library
this week to find out how much your library has to offer!
Come Together
@ Your Library!
The library will offer numerous activities,
programs, raffles and more during National Library Week.
