These events acknowledge holidays and other occasions that are valued in our community.
By including these days, we hope that you

This effort, as well as others to come, are the result of our participation in the Glen Ellyn DEI Project meetings and listening sessions. The library is committed to furthering our commitment to understanding and meeting the needs of our community.
