The Big Blue Brain

Have you heard strange noises or voices in the middle of the night?  Perhaps you've experienced a sudden chill while in a room?  Or maybe you've spotted objects unexpectedly move?  It's possible that you have been in the presence of an otherworldly spirit or ghost.

Join us on Wednesday, July 21st from 6-7pm as the Paranormal Moms Society and the Chicago Paranormal Detectives share their knowledge and stories about the supernatural.  Both groups will present their spooky findings of Chicagoland hauntings and answer any questions you may have.

Visit each their official websites at:

The Adult Service's Blog is named the Big Blue Brain because, much like a brain, it is packed full of information. If you have a question, you can interact with the brain and post questions here. We will publically answer your questions. Why blue?  Our library logo is blue.

Do you want to make a difference?  We are looking for adult volunteers who are able to give 8-10 hours per week with projects in the Adult Services Department. For more information pick up an information pack & fill out an Adult Volunteer Application on the 2nd Floor.

Did you know that we have a scanner available for public use at the library? The scanner is located on the 2nd floor of the library in Adult Services. You need a card or a guest pass to sign onto the scanner.  Let us know if you need help getting started!

1. You can find out when your items are ready for pick up on the same day they arrive!


2. It's better for the earth because a notice doesn't have to be printed.


3. You save the library money. It costs the library 45 cents for each notice mailed to homes.
