Tallamy speaks about his book, the dangerous decline of plant and animal populations, and how we can help solve the problem, starting in our own backyard. Q&A to follow.
Presented with the Elmhurst Cool Cities Coalition. Sponsored by the Friends of the Elmhurst Public Library.
One Book, One Community is an opportunity for the entire Elmhurst community to read and engage with the same book title. The Library offers discussions and programming around the book’s topics. We encourage book clubs, families, and workplaces to consider using the title as a basis for discussion.
StoryWalk®
In collaboration with the Elmhurst Park District and local Eagle Scout candidate, Tyler Janiak, the Library is excited to debut Elmhurst’s community StoryWalk® Project this Fall, located in Eldridge Park. The first panel can be found near the playground and follows the path that goes west, between the soccer fields.
Tomorrow I’ll Be Kind by Jessica Hische is the debut StoryWalk® title. We invite the whole community to participate!
