What do snakes, adult learners, a family heritage festival and a community chronology all have in common? It is often said that libraries are mirrors of the community spirit, and in this edition of What's New in Libraries? we'll learn how two libraries have grown to be vital parts of their community. Join host Sarah A Long, Director of the North Suburban Library System, on a visit to the Des Plaines Public Library Heritage Days and to Skokie Public Library as we learn more about the history of Skokie and the role that the library has played in that history. Next, we'll see a performance by the Lakehurst Players, a group of adult learners from the Waukegan area who have put together a program reflecting the needs of adult learners, and we'll find out how their contributions have helped adult learners as we celebrate National Literacy Month.
