Event Details

We're Back!

There's no place like home!  We were gone for almost 10 months, but IPDPL-Metamora is back home on the Square, and we can't wait to have you stop by!  Join us for our celebratory Open House - it will be VOLUMES of fun!!  We will have giveaways, Take & Make crafts, a selfie station with an oversized library card, balloons from The Unique Twist, refreshments, and more.  IPDPL cardholders can participate in a Library Card Crawl, exploring various spaces in the library for a chance to win prizes, including gift cards to local businesses or the grand prize, the Book Lovers Bag, filled with prizes!

 

Get or Renew Your Library Card for FREE!

Eligible residents in the IPDPL service area can get a free library card.  Stop by the circulation desk with a photo ID and proof of residency and we will hook you up!  You will need one for the Library Card Crawl . . .
