Celebrate National Library Week 2023 with EGVPL!

Celebrate National Library Week with Us!
April 23 - 29, 2023

There's more to the story at Elk Grove Village Public Library -- and YOU are a big part of the story! Help us celebrate National Library Week (April 23-29) all throughout April by sharing what you love about the Library. Drop off your submission at the reference desks in Youth Services or Adult Services for a chance to win a special gift.

Youth Services
Grade 8 and younger

What's your favorite way to use the Youth Services Department? Let us know by bringing a picture, either a drawing or a photo, of you enjoying your favorite Library activity. We will display your picture, at the Youth Services Reference Desk, to help us celebrate National Library Week. Your picture will also enter you for a chance to win special Elk Grove Village Library t-shirts for you and your family.

For more information, please contact Youth Services at (847) 725-2167.

Adult Services
For high school and adults

Share your story your way: write it, draw it, or record it (video or audio). Submissions will be accepted all throughout the month of April and can be dropped off at the Adult Services Reference Desk or emailed to Jake Pajor at jpajor@egvpl.org. Digital files should be formatted as PDF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, MP3, or MP4 or a link to a video on YouTube or another video-based platform. Need help creating a digital file? Drop in the A/V Recording Studio for expert help on Friday, April 7, 14, or 21 from 2pm to 4pm. No appointment is required.

Open to adults - high school and older. All who submit a story will receive a special gift for participating and a chance to win a $25 gift card. One winner will be randomly selected and announced on Monday, May 1.
