Spread Joy Around Our Community with 'Together Morton Grove'

MGPL has created two opportunities to support and encourage to our family, friends, and neighbors during this challenging time.

As we find our lives disrupted by COVID-19, our community is more important than ever. With this in mind, the Library has created two unique opportunities to show support and encouragement to our family, friends, and neighbors through a new initiative called Together Morton Grove.

During October and November, we welcome everyone to participate in one or both of these programs to help spread joy around our community.

Cards of Kindness

Send uplifting and caring messages to senior community members. Postcards will be available at the Info Desks or through curbside pickup while supplies last. Return your completed postcards in the outside bookdrop or inside the Library to be distributed to local senior citizens.

(If we're out of stock when you visit, ask the Info Desk staff to add you to the waitlist and we'll notify you when more are available.)

Simple Embroidery
