COVID-19 Memory Project

Calling all amateur historians! The Library wants to know how you survived the past year. We are interested in photos, written accounts, or original artwork that tells your COVID-19 story. All stories will be compiled and added to the Library’s local history collection. Pick up a project kit at the Youth Services Desk between March 1-May 31 or visit our website to submit your story. Submissions due by June 1.

DIY Projects at Home

DIY projects at home are now available for pick up at the Youth Services desk during specified pick-up windows. If you would like your kit(s) to be placed at the Drive-Up Window, please email ysdepartment@glenviewpl.org or call 847-729-7500 to let staff know to place your kit(s) at the window. Pick-up hours are available during Library open hours.

Literacy Tips

Early Literacy Tip

Many songs have a note for each part of a word, so when you sing, you're helping your child hear that words have smaller parts. Clap or tap along to better hear these smaller parts. For example, “Mary Had a Little Lamb” or “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

School Age Literacy Tip

Play games that utilize reading. Word- and vocabulary-building games like Scrabble or Boggle are great, but many board games provide reading opportunities (even if it's just the instructions). Crosswords provide opportunities for learning new words and spelling practice, too. Scrabble Go can be played online or with a free app download on your portable device.
