LOL Teen Read Week

October 14-20th is Teen Read Week. To celebrate, MGPL is giving away prizes!

Enter our drawing this week and have a chance to win a 5 inch b/w tv or a gift card from Borders. All you have to do is fill out a form in the Teen Zone and answer the question:

What's the funniest book you've ever read?

Give your form to the Circulation Desk and you are entered into the drawing!

Remember...you must be in 7th -12th grade to qualify for the drawing.

Happy Reading!

IM @ the Library

During October the Morton Grove Public Library's reference staff will be providing reference service via live chat on a trial basis. During the trial period, MGPL-based chat will be online from 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, though our goal is to eventually expand the service to all hours the Library is open.

Who can use our live chat?
Any adult or teen (grade 7 and up) can use live chat.

How it works:
If you want to ask us a question, just send a message to our Screen Name, askmgpl. This Screen Name works for AIM, Yahoo, and Google Talk.

So if you have a question, send an IM to the Library! Check it out!

Harry Potter Chat

Are you a Harry Potter fan? Come to the Library this Thursday and talk to other fans about the series. Call the Library and let us know you are coming so that we have enough magic wands and potion on hand!
