Chick Lit Book Discussion -- Tuesday, November 24th at 7pm
Join us as we discuss The Penny Pinchers Club by Sarah Strohmeyer! We will be taking a break from our monthly discussions for December, but we will be back in January. We hope you'll join us in November and again in the new year! Copies of January's book will be available at the library in mid-December.

We'll be discussing Skinned by Robin Wasserman and talking about any other books we've read in the past month! For teens in 6th grade and up. New members are welcome!

Grab your friends and head over to the library for Teen Movie Night! We'll supply the popcorn and drinks. For teens in 6th grade and up. For more information, including the movie title and length, please call (708) 301-7908 or email Heather at hcolby@homerlibrary.org.

Build your own Lego design to display in the library! All ages are welcome to participate. Legos will be provided.

Guess the number of sweets in the Bookmobile's holiday jar! The person with the closest number without going over will be the winner!
