Adult Summer Reading 2009
Last summer we tried two levels of reading; it was a success so we are going to do it again this year. For those patrons who are unable to read ten books, we will be offering a second level prize for reading five books. Patrons comfortable with reading ten books will receive the first level prize. You will only be able to claim ONE of the prizes. The library must either own the book or it can be requested from another library. The program will begin as usual on June 1, and you must be registered for the program by August 15 and have your book logs turned in by September 5, 2009.

Children's Summer Reading 2009
Get ready for this summer's reading program "READ on the Wild Side" at the Wood Dale Public Library. Materials to register will be available on the tables in the youth department on June 8th after 1:00 p.m. For individual programs please register using our online registration pages under "Events/Programs" on the left side of this page!

Free Ravinia Lawn Seating Tickets
We have a certain number of free Ravinia lawn tickets available to Wood Dale patrons. They include various concerts at this year's music festival in Highland Park, and are available at the library.

The tickets are available on a first come first served basis to all adult Wood Dale residents. Please ask at the Reference Desk to select dates for your tickets. They may not be reserved by phone and are available only while supplies last. For more information about Ravinia and concert schedules, visit www.ravinia.org or call the library at 630-766-6762.

Pardon Our Mess!
The Wood Dale Public Library District is committed to allocating resources to make service improvements for our patrons.  In May, work will begin to create two enclosed computer labs and an enclosed circulation workroom in the front portion of the Library.  The computer labs will contain full-size computers and monitors and offer the ability to provide computer-training classes in a lab environment.  By enclosing some of our noiser library activities, the level of the sound in the Library should decrease.
The project should take approximately two months and the Library is scheduling construction activities to minimize the amount of patron disruption.  Unfortunately, the current laptop lab will be unavailable during a majority of time of this project. The Library is also remodeling our existing lobby bathrooms. Paint, new floor tile, and bathroom partitions will be installed during the month of May. Please accept our apologies in advance for any service disruptions. We appreciate your patience as we work to make improvements to your Library.
