Learn about the Iditarod race!

As we near the end of our Winter Reading IditaRead challenge, learn more about the race that inspired the challenge.

Alaskan dog sled Iditarod participants and Warrenville residents Cheryl and Tom McGarrity will share their experiences and provide a behind-the-scenes look at the legendary race. They'll bring Holly, a descendant  of an actual Iditarod dog, to help tell their story.

Need some book suggestions to get you to the IditaRead finish line? You can place holds on the titles below or visit the IditaRead display in the Youth Services department.

About the branch

The Warrenville Public Library District was established in 1979 to provide library services to the residents of Warrenville and nearby unincorporated areas. The District operates out of a single facility located at 28W751 Stafford Place, Warrenville, IL.

Through warrenville.com, 24/7 services include digital content availability, database use, event registration and the ability to place books and other items on hold through the catalog.

In 2020, WPLD joined the SWAN Library Services consortium, making over 8,000,000 items available to our members.

WPLD members and guests have access to many amenities: Study and Meeting Rooms, Quiet Room with fireplace, casual seating areas, Discovery Room for children, Teen Lounge, cold beverage vending café, free wifi and computers.

The library is located in the heart of Warrenville’s civic center near the intersection of Batavia and Butterfield Roads. Additional parking and a second entrance are available off of Mount St. and Manning Avenue.
