What does a Year of Joy look like at the Woodridge Public Library (WPL), home to the Youth Librarian of the Year for Illinois, Jessica Smith, and a whole team of joyful library staff?
Patrons made 185,078 visits to the Woodridge Public Library over the past year to enjoy fantastic programs and events such as the Not-so-Scary Haunted House, Tween Takeover, and an Elvis Tribute Concert. The Summer Reading Dogman Party, Noon Year’s Eve Family Glow Party, and Mother’s Day Alice in Wonderland Tea Party were a great time. 600 hundred free storytimes and special events are held throughout the year for all ages, including WPL’s new Community Helper Storytime & Play series, where kids can pretend to be chefs, veterinarians, and other helpers like the Lisle/Woodridge firefighters who read stories to children in September during Firefighters to the Rescue!
