They say the best way to prove you’ve learned something is to explain it to someone else - so what better way to ease your study stress than to teach a therapy dog from Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy all about one of your school subjects? Sign up on our website for one fifteen-minute slot; you will be paired with another student signed up for the same time as well as a therapy dog and their handler.
If there were an award for getting the most out of your library card... Did you know you can also digitize record albums, use our new Mac to edit photos, and much more? Take an orientation of The Media Lab and learn all about it! PS: It’s all free to use when you have a library card! 🎞️ 📸 🕰️
Sign up for an orientation via the online calendar on our website.
The Media Lab is generously funded by the Bruce A. Michel Trust.
We are officially full of holiday spirit after the performance last night by the Silver-Rose duo: flutist Kim Fleuchaus and guitarist Dr. Julie Goldberg. This was part of our new concert series sponsored by the Friends of the Library. See our online calendar and our print newsletter for details about more performances like this coming in 2025.
If that third tune sounds familiar, it’s because it’s from the WGN-TV Christmas classic, “Suzy Snowflake.” Originally produced in 1953.
We are grateful to all veterans for their sacrifices for our country. Learn more about Park Ridge veterans of WWII on the Local History page of our website. See the link in the comments or in our Instagram bio. Our Reader Services staff interviewed dozens of WWII veterans and collected artifacts from veterans and others involved in supporting the war effort.
The Chris Green Quartet brought the house down yesterday! What a fun, sophisticated show they put on for us with their blend of jazz, funk, hip hop, rock, pop, blues and reggae. 🎶🥁🎷🎹 Many thanks to the Friends of the Park Ridge Library for sponsoring this and future concerts in our new series.

We asked members of our T(w)een Advisory Board (TAB) to imagine what they tell a friend to convince them to use the Library. We love that so many of them see the Library as a place to connect with others.
The TAB meets regularly during summer break and will meet again over winter break to continue sharing ideas and insights into how we can make the library experience better for middle and high school students. See the Teens page of our website, use the link in our bio, or DM us to learn how to join.
