Today's Staff Pick is: Hell Followed Us by Andrew Joseph White

"An action-packed, apocalyptic horror story about a 16-year-old trans boy running from the cult that raised him. I loved the plot and storyline." - DG Library Staff

Library Love!

This group submitted a Book an Expert request to use the library’s Silhouette machine to make shirts in support of their friend during the recent Walk MS in Naperville.

The library has many machines available to use with the help of one of our experts. Items include a sewing machine, embroidery machine, candle maker, Sizzix machine (die-cutting and embossing tool), sublimation machine, vacuum former (used to shape thermoplastic sheets into custom 3D objects), and a 3D printer!

A Lasting Legacy: Dave Humphreys Retires from Board

After 32 years, Dave Humphreys’ final term as a Library Trustee has come to an end. Humphreys has been an integral part of the library’s Board for three decades, and served as the Secretary from 2016 through 2024. Humphreys’ tenure on the Board is marked by his positivity and genuine, unwavering love for the library and the community as a whole. Humphreys’ impact on the library is long-lasting and profound. The staff are grateful for all of the time and dedication Humphreys put into leading the library, and wish him well in his next chapter! Thank you, Dave!

The library will host a reception to celebrate his years of service at the May 27 Board Meeting at the Betty Cheever Council Chambers at the Downers Grove Civic Center.
