Transcript of RGPL Newsletter January 2015
WE NEED A NAME !!!
Check This Out!
Introducing our revamped news-
letter!
From format to content, we dis-
cussed, debated, considered, ar-
ranged, and rearranged to create
a publication that would be both
informative and entertaining.
But you may have noticed that we
don’t have a name for the news-
letter. That’s where you come in –
from now until February 13th, we
will accept your ideas for a title. If
your title is chosen, you will win a
basket of books – some of which
haven’t been published yet!
You can enter at our website rivergrovelibrary.org or in person at the library. The winning name will make its debut on our March newsletter.
Use your library card to check out a Museum Ad-
venture Pass. Get free or reduced admission to 17
museums and attractions in the Chicagoland area
including Brookfield Zoo, Cantigny Park, and Lego-
land Discovery Center.
Stop by the circulation desk or go to
museumadventure.org/museums for more de-
tails.

with boyfriend Adam.

decision she has left will determine
not simply her future, but fate.
