Royal Gathering

On Saturday August 16th the library held a Royal Gathering. We had invited all the princes and princesses from River Forest to join for an afternoon of stories, royal crafts, and a treasure hunt. A grand time was had by all and we hope that you will join us for our next royal event.

Our new book worm

A new home for many of our Board Books has arrived! Come in and say hello to our new bookworm and sit on one of our blankets and read your favorite books.

Dave Rudolf Party

Last night was the library's Get in Game Concert to mark the end of summer reading. The library was happy to welcome Dave Rudolf who put on a great show for the whole family.

Even though Summer Reading has come to an end you still have until August 11th to turn in your completed book logs. Thanks to everyone who came out to the library this summer!

Extra! Extra! More Storytimes and Fun

Next week is the last week of summer reading. There's a lot going on at your library, celebrating all of our great summer reads!

There will be regularly schedule storytimes, Wednesday Lunch on the Lawn, and Thursday afternoon craft.

Also, we've newly added two story times. We hope you can come!

• Monday July 21, 3 PM - Stories on the Lawn - our preteen volunteers will be reading stories for kids age 3 - 8


• Tuesday July 22, 7 PM - Pajama Storytime (feel free to come in your pj's, but you don't have to!)

Plus! Don't forget, next Friday July 25, at 7 PM, Dave Rudolf will be performing at the library. Dave is a musician, comedian, and self-described goofball! This will be an all-ages, highly interactive, FUN show.

Lunch on the Lawn - Field Hockey

Today RFPL was glad to welcome Abbey & Emma from the OPRH Field Hockey Team. They taught us about Field Hockey, showed us some of their moves, and then taught us how to play!

OPRF Volleyball Players at the Library

Today we were lucky to have 2 members of the OPRF Girl's Volleyball team join us for lunch on the lawn. Hannah and Sarah told us about their experiences playing volleyball and those who came out got a chance to practice with girls.

Join us again next week at noon for Lunch on the Lawn with more local athletes.

Come in & Create

On Thursday afternoons at 1 pm come to the library for a chance to CREATE! Last week we made collages, join us this week to create a spiral mobile.
