Teen Artists Wanted!
Hopefully you've had a chance to check out the library's brand new section for teens! We are looking to add some artwork to the section, and we need the help of some artistic teens! Teens would be using canvas and paint (both provided by the library) to create a piece of artwork to hang. Interested teens should contact Heather or Alex at (708) 301-7908 for more information.

Used Book Sale: Update!
The library's second annual Used Book Sale was a great success! We would like to thank those who donated books for helping make this event happen. Also, manys thanks go out to our wonderful teen volunteers who helped sort and organize books and assisted with the sale itself. We hope those who purchased items found some awesome books! The Homer Library truly appreciates the support of everyone involved in this event!
