Celebrate National Library Week with Lisle Library District
The Lisle Library District, 777 Front St., is celebrating National Library Week on Saturday, April 13.
Festivities will be 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. with engaging activities for all ages. The dragon-themed event begins with a storytime featuring the dragon from the bestselling picture book “Dragons Love Tacos” by Adam Rubin.
All ages will enjoy delectable food from the Mucha Salsa Taco Truck, which will serve complimentary chicken tacos and cheese quesadillas (while supplies last).
From 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., attendees are invited to visit the reptile zoo featuring frogs, toads and turtles from Crosstown Exotics.
An all-ages scavenger hunt will lead participants throughout the library in search of seven dragons. Those who complete the challenge will win a special prize.
National Library Week is a long running observance established by the American Library Association with the goal of motivating people to read and support libraries.
“Spring is an optimal time to explore the newly renovated library. Check out packets of pollinator seeds from the LLD Seed Library or take home a few new cookbooks to up your dinner game,” said Tatiana Weinstein, library director.
“Check out any five items during National Library Week and take home a library yard sign to show your support for the library you love. And don’t forget to visit the LLD on Saturday, April 13. We’ll have dragon-inspired activities for all ages — and tacos!,” Weinstein said.
