About ReDiscover, the New and Improved The Big Read

Submitted by Downers Grove Public Library.

The Clarendon Hills, Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Indian Prairie, La Grange, La Grange Park, Lisle, Thomas Ford, and Woodridge public libraries are working together again on an annual community reading event. They took the best that The Big Read had to offer and broadened its scope to bring you ReDiscover!

This year they’ll ask you what makes a house a home. How is a home’s personality a reflection of the people who live there? What are ways to improve life inside and outside your home?

ReDiscover: Celebrating Home will delve into the meaning of these questions and more during a six-week series of programs for adults, teens, and kids.

Program guides will be available at Re-Discover.org and at all participating libraries. Reserve your spot for movies, cooking demonstrations, book discussions, musical performances, and informational lectures at Re-Discover.org/events. Stay up-to-date on all ReDiscover news at www.Facebook.com/ReDiscoverLibraries.
