Okay, so I quit this thread too early. I’m in Chicago right now. From the Daily Herald:

YouTube and the Personal Video Revolution: 7:30 p.m. May 6 Mount Prospect Library

Basic Computer Skills: 10 a.m. - noon, May 6 Des Plaines Public Library

Wrigley Field’s Last World Series: 7 p.m. May 7 Arlington Heights Memorial Library

Friday Night Film Night - Independent Film: 6:30 p.m. May 9 Des Plaines Public Library

Basic Floral Design: 7:30 p.m. May 13 Mount Prospect Library

Sisters Follow the Underground Railroad: 7-8:30 p.m. May 13 Mount Prospect Public Library

This is just a sample of the listings of library programs that I see all around the country. Don’t let anyone convince you of the demise of public libraries - not when there are so many creative individuals who care about their communties!
