Summertime, Summertime

It's finally summer! The warm weather is here and school's out, so is it time for some rest and relaxation?  Will it be off to Europe, a road trip,  the beach, or somewhere close? If a '"staycation" is it, there are plenty of places to visit right here in our neighborhood. Be a tourist at home. For ideas, the following DVDs can help you discover places to visit right in your own backyard!

The following explores the architectural and historical treasures of Chicago:

If you don't want to go to Chicago, then check out the following: Fox River Valley and Chain O'Lakes, Chicago's North Shore, and Northwest of Chicago.

Last but not least, do you want to spend a day at Brookfield Zoo, Chicago Botanic Garden, or Morton Arboretum to name a few? Because you are a GPL library cardholder, you will be eligible for a Museum Adventure Pass to one of these attractions.  For more information, please visit http://www.museumadventure.org/ and next time you're at the Library, stop by the Reader Services Desk.

Whatever you do, enjoy the summer!
