White Oak Library District: Lockport Branch

Illinois has consistently served as a touchstone for the history of comic strips and books: creators have lived here, publishers have set up shop here, and important events have occurred here. While Chicagoland has inspired memorable characters (Dick Tracy, Blondie, and Brenda Starr), downstate has made lasting contributions to the culture as well (Popeye, Black Panther, and The Phantom).
This presentation traces the many ways that Illinois and comics have formed a symbiotic relationship: politics, labor, law and order, education, architecture, and identity. Through contextualizing how comics culture has responded to these aspects of Illinois history, this program will demonstrate a complex unity between the two. From Hollywood to Broadway, the Mafia to Congress, and a future King of England, Illinois has shaped an entire industry. This, in turn, has nurtured a rich and vibrant comics community, thereby reinforcing the important relationship between Illinois history and comics culture.&nbsp;
Dr. Stephen Harrick is a writer, historian, scholar, educator, and theatre artist. He has written about comics culture for Comics Beat, Straight Up Magazine, and The Arts STL. He has delivered dozens of presentations on comics, literature, theatre and performance at libraries, and conventions and academic conferences in the United States and internationally. His comics have been published by GrayHaven Comics and Ink &amp; Drink Comics.&nbsp;
Illinois Humanities is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Illinois General Assembly [through the Illinois Arts Council], as well as by contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations.<a href="https://whiteoak.librarycalendar.com/event/road-scholar-comic-book-illinois-66407" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Register Here</a>

✨ Have You Ever Experienced Sound Healing? ✨
If not… you’re not alone—and you’re exactly who this is for 💫
Sound healing is a deeply relaxing experience where you simply lay back, get comfortable, and allow sound vibrations to wash over you. There’s nothing you need to do… no experience required… just receive.
Using instruments like crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, and gentle percussion, the body is guided into a state of calm where: 
🌿 Stress begins to melt away 
🌿 The mind quiets 
🌿 The body naturally restores balance 
🌿 Energy begins to gently realign
Think of it as a full-body reset for your nervous system—a peaceful pause in a busy world.
Many people leave feeling: 
✨ lighter 
✨ clearer 
✨ deeply relaxed 
✨ and more connected to themselves
You don’t need to “understand it” to feel it… 
You just need to be open to the experience 💛
If you’ve been curious, this is your sign to try something new.
🌸 Your first sound bath could be the moment you didn’t know you needed.

Become a Volunteer Meal Driver: Just 2 Hours a Week

Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois

For thousands of older adults across Illinois, a knock at the door is more than just a food delivery—it is a vital lifeline. At Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois (MOWFNI), we are dedicated to helping our senior neighbors live independently, safely, and with dignity in the homes they love. We achieve this through nutritious food, wellness checks, and the power of human connection, but we cannot do it alone. The Power of Our Volunteers Our volunteers are the heartbeat of MOWFNI. If you have just two hours a week to spare, you can make a profound difference. Delivering meals fits seamlessly into a midday routine or lunch break. As a volunteer driver, you do far more than hand over a meal; you provide a friendly smile, a warm conversation, and a crucial safety check for a senior who might not see anyone else that day. We offer flexible scheduling that allows you to volunteer weekly, monthly, or as part of a team with coworkers or friends. Our Core Programs: Home-Delivered Meals: We provide hot, medically tailored, and nutritious meals delivered directly to the doorsteps of those who cannot cook or shop for themselves. Community Cafes: Beyond home delivery, our vibrant Community Cafes offer a welcoming space for active older adults to gather, enjoy a delicious lunch, socialize, and build meaningful friendships that combat senior isolation. Make a Local Impact Today When you support or volunteer with MOWFNI, you are directly investing in the health and happiness of older adults right here in our neighborhood. Whether you are looking to give back during retirement, connect with your community, or get your local business involved in a meaningful cause, there is a place for you in our volunteer family. Join us in delivering more than a meal. Visit mowfni.org/volunteer-sign-up to fill out a brief volunteer application, or call us today to learn how you can start changing lives—one hour, one smile, and one senior at a time.

Hope, healing & justice for abused children.

Will County Children's Advocacy Center

The Will County Children's Advocacy Center was founded in 1995 by State's Attorney James Glasgow to partner with multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) comprised of law enforcement, DCFS investigators, medical personnel, prosecutors, and Will County CAC forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists in response to reports of severe physical abuse, sexual abuse, commercial exploitation, neglect, and exposure to violence of children, in Will County, IL. Our Will County CAC intake/MDT coordinator, forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists provide the following services: * Forensic Interviews: After a child is referred to the Will County CAC by law enforcement or the IL Dept. of Family Services (DCFS), our Intake Coordinator schedules a forensic interview for the child. One of our 4 forensic interviewers listens to the child’s story and asks non-leading, developmentally-appropriate questions as the child talks about the trauma he/she has experienced. Law enforcement, prosecution, DCFS, and mental health professionals observe the interview from a separate room. This reduces trauma for the child and provides a stronger foundation if the case goes to court. * Family Advocacy: Our family advocates are committed to helping each family navigate the complex systems that a family enters when a child makes an outcry of abuse. As each case goes through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, the team is there to help the family understand the process, learn about their rights and successfully access resources that will help their family during crisis. * Trauma-Focused Therapy: Our team of licensed clinical social workers provide short-term, trauma informed therapy to children who have received a forensic interview. Since child abuse affects the whole family, the services are available at no cost to both the child and their non-offending family members. Individual and group therapy is offered in English and Spanish.
