Winter 2023–2024 Library Events

We've planned an exciting and interesting selection of library programs for the winter months. Registration is now open through our Events calendar for several holiday-themed offerings, tech talks, game nights, craft projects, reading clubs, storytimes and STEAM sessions.

All events are free and open to the public. You don't need to live in Warrenville or have a WPLD library card to attend (though if you live here we really wish you did!), so invite family and friends to join you.

Winter Reading Challenge: IditaRead

Big news! The challenge will take place from December through February, giving you more time to read and lose yourself in zany characters, breathtaking landscape and crushing plot twists. This year's theme is IditaRead...read for as many minutes as there are miles in the sled dog race in Alaska. Beginning December 1, details about the challenge, including participation gifts and a grand prize drawing, will be available at: warrenville.com/winter-reading.

Register now for any upcoming programs that interest you. Popular programs fill up fast! You can register through the Events calendar or by calling the Youth Services Desk at 630/393-1171 x124 or the Adult Services Desk at 630/393-1171 x121.
