Good Morning and Happy Saturday, Neighbors! It’s a gorgeous day outside and we hope that everyone spends the day reconvening with nature but, if you need a brief break from all that fresh air and sunshine, there are two days left of the @scholastic book fair at the library! Looking for a book for that wonderful kid in your life? We got you covered! Looking for a book for that soon to be graduate in your life? We got you covered! Looking for a book for that perfect mom in your life? We got you covered! Looking for a book for yourself because you’re amazing and deserve it? We got you covered! Having a bad day and need some retail therapy? Guess what… we got you covered. We hope to see everyone out today! #scholasticbookfair #scholasticbooks #theramones #joeyramone #saturday #beautifulday #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries
I live vicariously through my daughter. 💕 Shes everything I ever wanted. I love her bravery. I love her humor. I love her sassines. God knew what he was doing when he put her in our lives. She’s my favorite human. PS if you know her you know she’s obsessed with her bunny but her favorite was the baby chicks. She had baby ducks and baby bunnies too. But she surprised me. 😜😜 #babychicks #hephzibahfarm #farmergirl #farmlife #hebronillinois #iloveyou #mydaughter #handsoneducation
Aloha, Neighborinos! I’m stoked to remind all you cool dudes and dudettes out there that the bodacious Scholastic Book Fair is going on ALL week at the library during our normal hours of operation. This ain’t no gnarly mushburger… We’ve got all sorts of sick books for your cortex to munch on and we want to make sure that everybody makes it out to this party wave. Don’t be a kook, bros and Bettys! Throw on your baggies and charge on over… I assure you, it’s the righteous thing to do! Hang ten, my fine bookish friends! @surfcity @scholastic @wearebookfairs #scholasticbookfairs @hawaii #hawaii #hawaiianday #surfer #surferdude #ridethewave @visit.hawaii @surfer_magazine #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries @bookriot @shelfawareness @americanlibraryassociation
We just want to say thank you to everyone who attended the Alden-Hebron School District 19 Art Show and Scholastic Book Fair today! Our Star Wars Day was very much out of this world thanks to the love and support of our wonderful community coming together to support art, our very own gifted and talented artists, our school’s art program, and, of course, the kind and generous art teacher, Liz Stroh! Special thanks to Sister Donuts Inc. and Crandall’s Restaurant for providing breakfast for our artists and their prominent fans and to Ridgeview Design Co. for crafting an absolutely wonderful Star Wars themed centerpiece for our festivities today! We’re so glad we don’t have to travel to a galaxy far, far away to have such a wonderful community to be a part of! @starwars @lucasfilm @scholastic @disney #starwars #maythefourthbewithyou #starwarsday #lightsaber #princessleia @outofprint #artshow #artteacher #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries @shelf.awareness @bookriot

“A true friend is someone who thinks you’re a good egg, even if you’re cracked.” . Happy Easter, neighbors! . We hope that you all have a fantastic time out in this Springish weather, celebrating with friends, family, and loved ones and we hope everyone found all the eggs and baskets that our good friend, the Easter Bunny, left for you! Hopefully there was a book or two in those baskets for everyone! . Have a safe, enjoyable, and fun Easter and, to all the kiddos out there, enjoy your last day of Spring Break! . #happyeaster #hoppyeaster #easter #easterbasket #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries
Hello, Neighbors! Did you know that the Hebron Public Library supports Book Clubs? It’s quite possible you didn’t because, as we all know, the first rule of Book Club is you don’t talk about Book Club... The second rule of Book Club is you DON’T talk about Book Club. Well... Now you CAN! We are currently hosting TWO Book Clubs a month! . The first Book Club, our Potpourri Book Club, is sponsored by the St. John’s Lutheran Church and the goal is simple: To get people talking about books... ANY books! This Book Club is open to anyone who wants to join and there’s no specific reading required... Just come prepared to talk about whatever book you’re reading! It meets the second Saturday of every month at 10:00 a.m. (next meeting is April 13)! . The second book club, The Community Book Club, is sponsored and administrated by Jessica Wasilewski-Slocum. Every month, we pick a book and the Book Club guests read it and discuss it on the last Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. (The next Community Book Club pick is Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and we’ll be meeting on April 24th). . Just remember: If this is your first night at Book Club... You have to read. . (Also: if you’re interested in starting a Book Club and want to hang out at the library with four or five of your closest book reading friends, let us know!) . #fightclub #bookclub #mischiefmayhembooks #tylerdurden #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries @rebeccayarros @edwardnortonofficial @chuckpalahniuk @fightclub

Happy Sunday, Neighbors! . We hope that everyone is enjoying their second Winter (and the kids are enjoying their second Winter Break)… looking at the weather, it looks like it’s going to be a chilly break for these amazing students! .

We absolutely have books to read but we also have board games, DVDs, computers, toys, a Wii and an XBox, and all sorts of Puzzles! We’ll be laying this one out on the front table for our community members to pop in and add a few pieces! .

“Can you look at the faces in those pictures and still whine about a little bad weather? Hmm?” . Happy Saturday, Neighbors! . I just finished reading this and, considering the weather reversal, it seemed as though this was a perfect pick for my President’s Pick of the Week. . I had never read Sandra Brown before but I am absolutely going to be reading more of her work. Chill Factor was fast paced with great characters and a slew of twists and turns that lead me down paths I wasn’t expecting. It was so much fun and it’ll definitely keep you occupied for a little while while the Illinois weather decides what it’s doing! . Stay warm out there today, neighbors! . @sandrabrownauthor #chillfactor #sandrabrown #mystery #thriller #twistsandturns #smalltown #mountaintown #snowstorm #snowmageddon #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries

“Her eyes are cold and calculating. She regards me like I’m a stain on the floor, a blemish that needs to be rubbed out.” . Hello, Neighbors! . I was out of commission for a good part of last week (stay healthy… whatever’s going around is nothing to scoff at!) but my President’s Pick of the Week is Hidden Pictures by @jasonrekulak .., . This is a great story with some fantastic twists and turns that’ll keep you guessing and wondering what the heck is going on. As an added bonus, the pictures that are laced throughout the book help to amp up the creep factor… so make sure you stop by and pick it up! . #thriller #pickoftheweek #creepy #creepykids #ghoststory #hiddenpictures #jasonrekulak #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries

Happy Sunday, Neighbors! . We hear that there is a big sporting event happening today that @taylorswift is attending. While I don’t follow sports ball very closely, on behalf of the Hebron Public Library, we just hope that both teams have a very good time! .

“Pretty soon, we won’t have any time to teach them anything. We’ll just test them from the moment they get here to the moment they go home.” . Hello, neighbors! . President’s Pick of the Week! . I’m on a mission in 2024… I want to expand my horizons and be able to recommend even more books to my fantastic patrons. Which is why I’m making an effort to read more books directly from our shelves. I’m sure that some if them may be a slog for me to get through… but some of them will be fantastic and will open my eyes to a brand new author… like this one here. . I had never read Linwood Barclay before but he’s absolutely on my radar now. No Time For Goodbye was a well written mystery with plenty of twists and turns that will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat until the last page. . Can’t wait for my next mystery read so I can help YOU find your next favorite read! . @linwoodbarclay #notimeforgoodbye #mystery #thriller #surprise #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries
“Many people are good at talking about what they are doing, but in fact do little. Others do a lot but don’t talk about it; they are the ones who make a community live.” . Hello, Neighbors! . This is one of the main reasons that we love being part of a small town… we support one another, build each other up, create positivity, and form a community together. . And, I know they’re closed for the season presently but, when they reopen, make sure you stop by The Dari… you’ll be glad you did! . #bleedgreen #smalltown #livinginasmalltown #iwasborninasmalltown #icecream #icecreamshop #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries @johnmellencamp

“When someone says “it’s impossible,’ I have this very bad habit, I can’t help myself, I immediately contradict that person in the most positive terms possible. A very bad habit, but one that I find hard to break.” . Finished reading Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child… this was a recommendation of one of my favorite and most loyal library patrons (who was shocked that I had not read it). While it started off fairly slow, I loved the character development and the plot line. I was intrigued by the scientific aspect AND the fact that it didn’t rely solely on a “scary monster” to drive the plot forward. I will absolutely be continuing to follow Agent Pendergast’s further investigations! . #newyorkmuseumofnaturalhistory #douglaspreston #lincolnchild @museumofnaturalhistory @fieldmuseum @penelopeannmiller #thriller #creepy #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #rgloveslibraries
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.” . Happy Martin Luther King jr. Day, neighbors! . While most establishments are closed for this important federal holiday, we at the Hebron Public Library decided to stay open so that we could help to expand the minds of those who needed their minds expanded and to offer a safe haven for those who are stuck out in the cold on this frigid January day. . We hope that those of you who had the day off enjoyed yourselves and, more importantly, we hope that everyone out there took a minute to reflect on the importance of this holiday and the history changing man who we are celebrating today. A man who had a dream, a man who stood up for his beliefs, a man who spoke for those who had no voice, a man who fought for those that were beaten down, a man who walked so others could run, a man who worked tirelessly towards the belief that all men are created and thereby treated equal, and a man who did all this with peace and love and kindness. . Stay warm out there, neighbors, and always choose kindness. . @officialmlking3 @kamalaharris #martinlutherking #martinlutherkingday #equality #diversity #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries #blm #ihaveadream #peace #love #kindness #bethechange
Hello, Neighbors! . I feel like I would be remiss if I didn’t give a shout out to the true heroes of the past couple days: The Village of Hebron Public Works department. . It’s been a crazy few days between the snow and the frigid cold and, though it’s been a rough time, these fine folks have worked tirelessly to make sure our streets are passable and everyone is able to get around. . If you see any of these guys around, make sure you thank them for their hard work, not just in the wintertime, but all year round! . Keep up good work, gentlemen, and stay warm and safe! . #publicworks #villageofhebron #ittakesavillage #communitymatters #wearefamily #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries
Good Morning, Neighbors! . While we got a bit of a late start due to the inclement weather that attacked us yesterday, the Library is open and we’ll be here until 2:00! . While we’re not an official warming center, with the upcoming drastic temperature drop this week, I want to make sure everyone in our community, both near and far, knows that the Hebron Public Library is open to the public as a place to warm up. We have games, movies, computers, and, of course, books to keep you busy for a while! We will be open our regular hours all week but, if there is an additional need for warming stations in the afternoon or evenings, please drop me a line and I’ll be happy to open the doors to invite in those who are having trouble staying warm. . Stay safe and warm out there folks!

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.” Happy 2024, Neighbors! May this year be bigger, better, and far more fun and entertaining than last year… and I hope to see and get to know each and every one of you at the Library over the next 12 months! #happynewyear #newyearnewme #2024 #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries
Hello, Neighbors! Here we are. The last day of 2023 and the final day of the Hebron Public Library’s 100th year. Every year I like to take some time to look back at the last 365 days and reflect on the year that just passed us by. This year is no different and, as we turn the page and read the last few sentences that take place in the 2023 chapter of our lives, I do so with a smile on my face. We did it. We made it through and, in my humble opinion, we had a great time doing so and came out better, smarter, and stronger on the other side. 2023 was a big year for us… but I assure you: we were just getting warmed up. Bring on 2024… because it’s going to be even bigger. Have a safe, healthy, and, above all else, Happy New Year, neighbors! And thank you for 365 days of support! #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #bibliophile #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #expressyourshelf #readingrocks #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries @nataliemerchant

Hello, Neighbors! .

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” . Happy Thanksgiving, Neighbors! . While we use today as a day to stop and give thanks for what we have, it is so important for us to remember that, though Thanksgiving only comes once a year, our feelings of gratitude and our thankfulness can still be remembered for the other 364 days we spend walking around. . Every single day, I am so grateful for the wonderful community and amazing community that we, the Library, have both within the boundaries of Hebron and well beyond our borders. To our community, Thank You. . I am grateful to have such kind and generous neighbors, both near and far, who want to see the library thrive and donate their precious time and effort and hard earned money to keep the library open and moving forward. To our neighbors, Thank You. . I am so grateful to my fantastic Library Board, without whom I would be nothing more than a dreamer and a hoarder of books. These individuals each bring a unique perspective and a divergent set of skills to the table and, only when we are together, can we achieve the seemingly impossible. To the Library Board, Thank You. . As Library Board President and Head Librarian, I am filled to bursting with gratitude every second of every day. As much as I would love to take all the credit, the library is greater than the sum of its parts. We are a collective, we are a team, we are a community, we are a family. And to everyone who is part of our family, Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my incredibly full heart. . Happy Thanksgiving, Neighbors. We hope you have a safe, healthy, joyous holiday. Remember all that you have to be thankful for and, as always, don’t forget to read. . #happythanksgivng #thanksgiving #grateful #gratitude #givethanks #community #neighbors #happyholidays #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebrongiants #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries

“You're alive...That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change. Potential. Once you're dead, it's gone.

“There is nothing so powerful as truth, and often nothing so strange.” . Good Evening, Neighbors! . We have come to the threshold: Halloween Eve. The 30th day of our 31 Books of Halloween countdown… . Today’s pick is a non-fiction classic: The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel. While this book doesn’t focus specifically on the Mothman, it does have some terrifying stories of cryptids, UFOs, and government conspiracies… which are terrifying in their own right. . So, while you’re busy checking under the bed for scary monsters, make sure you occasionally look up to the skies as well. . Special thanks to @donovanscherer , owner of Studio Moonfall in Kenosha, for creating this absolutely amazing Mothman hoodie! . #31booksofhalloween #halloween #happyhalloween #mothman #mothmanprophecies #johnkeel #donovanscherer #donovanscherersstudiomoonfall #studiomoonfall #pointpleasantwv #cryptids #cryptozoology #UFO #unidentifiedflyingobject #conspiracy @club.cryptid @the_mothman_museum @visitkenosha @mykpl @pointpleasanttourism #library #libraries #publiclibraries #publiclibrariesofinstagram #librarybooks #librarylife #libraryshelfie #books #reading #readabook #supportyourlocallibrary #hebronil #hebronillinois #hebronpubliclibrary #RGlovesLibraries @torbooks @tornightfire
