Come on down to the library for the next TMG meeting, where we'll be making plans for our August cosplay party! Open to teens in 6th grade & up.

Teens from the Homer Library will be bowling against teens from the Orland Park, Frankfort, and Tinley Park libraries for a trophy! The cost is $5 per teen, which includes 3 games of bowling, shoe rental, unlimited cheese pizza, and soda! Space is limited to 20, so registration is required. Teens do not have to be members of the Youth Activity Committee to bowl! Participants must provide their own transportation. Library staff will be in attendance. Please note that due to the bowling party, there will not be a YAC meeting on Wednesday, July 29th. To register, call (708) 301-7908 or email Heather at hcolby@homerlibrary.org.

Do you have the guts to touch a real live alligator or snake? Jim Nesci is bringing his show to Culver Park!

This program is free!

This week marks the final week of the Summer Reading Program. You can stop in any time this week, including Saturday, to log your minutes.

The library will soon be accepting donations for our Used Book Sale! Due to space constraints, we are asking that patrons drop off donations on the following days only: Friday, July 24th through Wednesday, August 5th. We will be accepting gently used books, although we cannot take encyclopedias over 5 years old, items in poor condition, magazines, or textbooks. The Used Book Sale will run from August 7th through August 12th, with a special Friends' Night pre-sale on Thursday, August 6th for patrons who are Friends of the Homer Library. Thank you for your help in making this event a success!
