Come Read a Dangerous Book!

The Glencoe Public Library is proud to celebrate Banned Book Week 2008, the twenty-seventh annual celebration of the freedom to read.

Library Centennial Vehicle Sticker Design Contest

The Glencoe Human Relations Forum is sponsoring a contest to design a vehicle sticker that honors the Glencoe Public Library's upcoming centennial. The contest is open to kindergarteners through 8th graders who may work alone or in a team. The design will be reduced to 3" x 3" and reprinted in four colors, so you should keep the design simple. Also, "Village of Glencoe" and "2009" must appear in the design. Entry forms can be picked up at the library and must be returned to the library, Village Hall or your teacher by Tuesday, October 7, 2008.
