****Bonus: To help celebrate the Great American Road Trip, we are watching and playing along with PBS's Great American Read! PBS viewers across the nation will vote for a favorite title out of 100 finalists. We want to know what FRG readers would choose, too! We will be tracking our library patrons’ voting, and one participant can win a copy of his or her favorite book from the list. To vote in our Fox River Grove Memorial Library survey and enter for a chance to win your favorite book from the list, please click here. Visit PBS's Great American Read website for their official list and voting site.

We will be closed beginning Monday, July 30 for the renovation. For renovation updates, please visit Facebook, Twitter, our website, or check the email you have listed with the Library. Visit our vestibule display case for a sneak peek at some of the improvements and new services coming soon!
