White Oak Library District: Romeoville Branch

The words seem simple: “all men are created equal,” and endowed with the rights of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Yet people in every era since have grappled with them. Elizabeth Cady Stanton used them as a starting point. Lincoln regarded them as the essential definition of America. Southern secessionists said they were false. Frederick Douglass called them hypocritical.&nbsp;
Join Joyce Haworth as she recounts the influence of the Declaration over the last 250 years.
This library program has been made possible through a partnership between the White Oak Library District and the Village of Romeoville.<a href="https://whiteoak.librarycalendar.com/event/declaration-independence-through-centuries-presenter-joyce-haworth-60063" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please Register</a>

In the mid 1970s, these three cultural forces collided and changed pop culture forever. Just a decade earlier, the Bee Gees were known for their Beatlesque pop harmonies. But while disco music was building a loyal underground following, the Bee Gees were reinventing themselves as a white rhythm and blues band. Then came Saturday Night Fever. &nbsp;The film, starring John Travolta, didn’t just capture a scene; it ignited a nationwide phenomenon and propelled disco into the American mainstream. Using music and video clips, we’ll explore the pop-culture moment that reshaped our nightlife, dancing, fashion and music.
And yes, White Oak Library District has a disco ball!&nbsp;<a href="https://whiteoak.librarycalendar.com/event/bee-gees-saturday-night-fever-disco-music-presenter-gary-wenstrup-76538" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please Register</a>

Illinois is the nation’s railroad crossroads. This not only shaped the state’s economy and communities but created an industry with a cultural allure. The speeding locomotive was a real-life representation of progress, and people gathered trackside to marvel at the big city opulence represented by an Illinois-built Pullman car. Rail workers were seen as heroic as they faced an extremely dangerous occupation. The railroad became a cultural symbol, reflected in advertising, cinema, and children’s toys.
Join speaker, historian, writer, and community organizer (with a passion for Illinois labor history!), Michael Matejka for an engaging presentation about Romeoville, Chicagoland, and Illinois railroad history. This event is generously sponsored by the <a href="https://ilhumanities.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Illinois Humanities</a> "Road Scholars Speakers Bureau" in which speakers travel across Illinois to bring art, culture, history, and contemporary social issues to life, making the humanities accessible to all!<a href="https://whiteoak.librarycalendar.com/event/whats-coming-down-line-railroad-american-mind-michael-matejka-66214" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please Register</a>

New Leadership at Visiting Angels Plainfield

Visiting Angels Plainfield

A Life-Saving Legacy: Justin Settle Takes Ownership of Visiting Angels Plainfield For Immediate Release Plainfield, IL — Justin Settle, through Settle Healthcare LLC, is proud to announce the official acquisition of Visiting Angels Plainfield, effective February 13, 2026. While the transition marks a change in leadership, it is rooted in a recent event that defines the agency’s core mission: the relentless protection of the seniors they serve. Shortly before the closing, a situation unfolded that highlighted why this agency is a pillar of the community. Pat Verlee, the former owner, observed a client’s condition and strongly urged the daughter-in-law to take the mother-in-law to the Emergency Room. Despite the family’s hesitation, Pat’s insistence prevailed. At the hospital, doctors discovered two aneurysms. Because of that clinical intuition and persistent care, a life was saved. "This acquisition feels like it was meant to be," said Justin Settle, the new owner of Visiting Angels Plainfield. "The story of Pat saving that client’s life is the real heart of this organization. It extends far beyond financials or tax returns; it’s about the profound impact we have on families when they are most vulnerable. I am honored to carry that torch forward." Justin Settle brings extensive experience from the biopharmaceutical sector to the role, where he has spent years managing specialty accounts and focusing on patient outcomes. Under his leadership, the agency will continue to provide top-tier non-medical home care, including companion care and specialized support, while maintaining the "eagle-eyed" vigilance that saved a life this year. About Visiting Angels Plainfield: Located at 24014 W Renwick Rd, Ste 100, Visiting Angels Plainfield provides essential living assistance services to seniors in Plainfield, Joliet, and surrounding areas. The agency is dedicated to helping seniors maintain their independence and dignity in the comfort of their own homes.

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.
