Summer Reading

The Glen Ellyn Public Library and the Glen Ellyn Cool Cities Coalition have produced a short list of recommended environmental reading. Stop by the library to sign up for the Summer Reading Program for 2010. Free prize drawings are offered weekly! The GEPL suggests reading in 5 categories. You pick the books you want to read (General Fiction, Mystery, Biography or Memoir, anything you've read, and New Fiction). Receive the environmental reading list as a bonus.
