Program Description

Details

Register or drop, bring a book or borrow one from the Library, and get comfy on the lawn or in the newly reopened courtyards for a community read-in! Enjoy light refreshments, visit the City of Hope table for wellness information, and take a real break from your phone as part of Unplug Illinois, which encourages us all to unplug from our electronic devices and plug into play, creativity, friendship, adventure, and family.
