Algonquin Area Public Library District

Library and environmental enthusiasts enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Raue Center for our Aldo Leopold event. The venue was filled with attendees, and thanks to the participation of numerous libraries, nature organizations, and environmental agencies, there was no shortage of information and resources to explore. Presenter Jennifer Sterling shared insightful and engaging information that helped carry forward Aldo Leopold's enduring message of environmental stewardship.

Thanks to McHenry County Libraries United, the audience, and Abalabix Books for making it a great night!

Due to the weather forecast, Lunchapalooza is moving indoors to the AAPLD Harnish Main Library Large Meeting Room on Wednesday, June 24 from 11 am-12 pm. Please note that this is now a ticketed event. Free tickets are available in the Youth Services Department while supplies last.
Your friends from AAPLD and the Village of Algonquin, Illinois invite you for a fun-filled performance with Marko Polo Music and get ready to dance, sing along, and enjoy his groovy guitar, catchy songs, and playful, interactive show. It's going to be a fantastic event, and now everyone can stay dry while having fun!

Join us for a morning of music, laughter, and family fun!

Friday FAQ - Q: We loved the Buzz, Wiggle, and Wander Outdoor Scavenger Hunt. How long is it there?
A: Thanks for the compliment! Our team worked really hard on it. You can visit the scavenger hunt located along the path at Ted Spella Park from now through the library's closing on July 19th. Come to the Harnish location to collect a map, then take your map to the trail directly next to the library and see what you can find. When you finish, bring it back for a prize! This trail does not go “off-road” and is accessible to all.

Happy Juneteenth to all! Today we honor the triumph of freedom. Both AAPLD locations are open and welcome you to drop in, read, explore our collection, and celebrate the day!
