Elmhurst Public Library

October is Family History Month. Explore your family's roots with MyHeritage Library Edition, available with your library card.

This week, the Library patio set the scene for a book discussion of Symphony of Secrets, this year's choice for One Book, One Elmhurst. The firepit made it extra cozy!

Mini Makers were at it again, this time observing the laser engraver do its magic with a simple flower photo, then adding watercolors onto the wooden surface to bring the flower to life.

Thanks to Preston Klik for the relaxing Sound Bath Meditation. The Large Meeting Room was transformed to a zen space filled with the sounds of acoustic instruments from around the globe. One patron told us, "This was the most unique thing I've ever done in a library!" Catch more programs related to One Book, One Elmhurst: elmlib.org/onebook
