GEPL's Cable No More Family Room, an interactive exhibit, runs May 2, 2016 through May 27, 2016.
Experience life without a cable subscription at Glen Ellyn Public Library’s Cable No More Family Room May 2, 2016 through May 27, 2016.
This interactive exhibit, created by the library, allows the community to do more than just learn about alternatives to cable subscriptions.
“The exhibit is designed to look and feel like a typical family room,” said Ian Lashbrook, GEPL’s Instruction Librarian and Business Liaison. “We wanted to give visitors the opportunity to try out an array of online streaming services and devices in a comfortable, hands-on environment.”

“We hope interaction with this exhibit will educate visitors, making them aware of television viewing options outside of traditional cable services and empower them to consider making changes to the way they consume video programming in their own homes,” said Lashbrook.
