Halloween is a fun and exciting time for families. But it can also bring extra safety risks for kids and teens. The National Safety Council says that more children get hurt while walking on Halloween than on any other night of the year. Help your ghosts and goblins stay safe and have a happy Halloween this year. Keep these simple, but important safety tips in mind.
 
 
JCLD's hoopla Service Ends November 8
 
The hoopla logo is framed with the words Service is Ending on November 8.
We know many of you have loved using hoopla! However, because hoopla bills the Library per item borrowed, it has become too costly to keep. The Library District is dedicated to using our funds wisely, so we’re focusing on services that reach the most people. You can still discover thousands of great titles through our CLEO catalog—there’s always something new to enjoy! We thank you for understanding and for helping us make the best use of Library resources.
