Drinks and food are not allowed. Class size is limited to 5 participants. Classes are free, but space is limited and registration is required. Funding for this program is brought to you as part of a grant that was awarded to the Homer Township Public Library by the Illinois State Library (ISL), a Division of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), under the federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).

The library will be closed on Monday, May 25th in observance of Memorial Day. Bookmobile service will also be suspended for the day. We will reopen on Tuesday morning at 8:30 am. And as a reminder, the library is now closed on Sundays for the summer.

When the library is closed, you can still:

+ chat online with a librarian through our ASKAWAY service

+ use our library databases

+ search our catalog.

Thank you to those who have served our country, and also to those who are currently serving!
