Even though this blog is dedicated to our renovation project, we still wanted to inform you about our 2013 Summer Reading Club, READ: Build Your Future.

It’s fun for the whole family!

Adults and teens, simply log your summer reads online or pick up a log at any public service desk. The more you read, the more chances you have for winning prizes. Grand prize is an iPad Mini! For more information, please click here.

Hey kids, we didn’t forget about you!

Glummy, the official Summer Reading Club mascot, is back with his friends. They are on a mission to build the library of your dreams!

Stop by the Youth Services desk and sign up today.

New this year: 10 weekly drawing prizes!

Has our remodeling project motivated you to start one at home?

Beautiful weather is here, which means it’s time for some home improvements.

Here’s a list of great books to help you remodel your kitchen, yard, bathrooms, and more:

If you need more materials, please see a Librarian on the top floor of the Niles Public Library.

New steel beams will be added to the Lower Level to accommodate the larger collection that will be going to the 2^nd Floor.

The work will be taking place through Thursday on the east side of Lower Level and will include some welding.  A temporary wall is up and an exhaust fan will be going.

If you’re looking for a comfortable place to sit and relax, stop by the fireplace room on the 3^rd Floor.

The 2^nd floor is officially under construction.

It will be the new home to Fiction, CDs, DVDs and Audiobooks.

New carpeting, desks, comfortable reading chairs and tables, and some additional shelving will be added.

Materials from the 2^nd floor are now located on the 3^rd floor. Please ask a staff member for assistance.
