Book Club Support
Do you need extra copies for your students? We can help! Call us at 708-366-7171 x116, or email us at ys@fppl.org. Please allow 7-10 days for books to arrive. Looking for extra credit opportunities for your students? Our on-site clubs encourage a love of reading and help kids develop critical thinking and discussion skills. We offer our Junie B. Jones Book Club for beginning readers, Kids Book Club with Pizza for intermediate readers, and our new Club RED for teens. Check out our calendar of events for upcoming meeting times.
Cards for Kindergartners (and other kids too!)
If your child attends District 91 school, their registration is adequate proof of our residency requirement to get a library card. We offer an annual card drive in a collaboration with the schools to obtain cards for kindergartners that we plan to expand for children who join the District later in their school careers.
