Simply highlight a word or phrase (perhaps an author's name or a book title) on a site, then click the bookmarklet in your Favorites or Bookmarks to look up that word or phrase in our catalog.

* "Read With Rex" returns!

Once more, we've arranged for therapy dogs from Healing Touch, a local chapter of Therapy Dogs International, to visit the Library. Reading out loud to these specially trained and patient animals helps children develop self-confidence and better reading skills. Sign up your child for a 15-20 minute Read With Rex session by calling us at 708-301-7908.

Dogs will be here the next three Sundays (March 6, 13, and 20), from 5:00-7:00 p.m.
