Upcoming Events

A monthly series on nutrition and wellness after retirement and beyond! Learn to care for yourself in your new found time. We’ll talk about nutritionally dense foods, what foods that can help you feel your best, food energetics, and how to add joyful movement to your everyday life. Certified Holistic Health Coach, Jess Stewart will demonstrate how easy and simple cooking healthy can be. 

Bond with your little one while exploring yoga, based on your favorite children’s books. This class includes simple breathing work, playful yoga poses, songs, games, and story time. Participants will use their imagination while increasing strength, flexibility, and balance. 

Join us for a brand new book club focused on Psychological Thrillers, Mysteries, and Suspenseful Stories. If you love those gripping tales that leave you on the edge of your seat, trying to figure out whodunnit or how your hero/heroine is going to get themselves out of this jam... then this might be the book club for you. The club will meet the third Wednesday of each month to discuss a different book.  

Join us for Chair Yoga at the Yorkville Public Library. Our Yoga instructor takes us through simple yoga routines that will help reduce stress, improve flexibility, increase strength, and help with focus and mindfulness. Sessions are 45 minutes long. Please register for the class. If you need help registering, please call the library.

Join the YPL Dungeons & Dragons group every Thursday in the Adult Services department. We are a friendly group of players with a variety of experience levels - from dungeon masters who've played for years to brand new gamers trying things out for the first time. Current campaign may be full - check with the library adult services staff to see when spaces are opening or new campaigns are beginning.  

Join us at YPL every Friday at 10:30 for Drop In Story Time. This story time is held in the Youth Service Department of the library. A volunteer from The Friends of the Library is our special reader.

Children can come to the library, select a book and read to a furry friend.  All therapy dogs and handlers have been certified by an accredited organization.  This program was designed originally because children feel less pressure to read to a dog than an adult so, it was meant to be a way to help struggling readers or even just encourage reading.  It is open to all levels of readers and non-readers. 

Whether you are looking to write the next great thriller, your biography, a short story, or even develop your professional writing skills, this program may be for you. This group is for all people who are passionate about words. Its intent is to create a positive, encouraging, honest, and fun atmosphere that will support and motivate each person to achieve excellence in writing. Meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of the Month.

Do you crochet, knit, needlepoint, sew, or quilt? If so, get together with fellow "threaders" for a creativity blast! Come work on your unfinished projects, show off finished projects, and check out what other people are doing. "Threads & More" group is an informal friendly group that welcomes all interest and abilities. The group meets on the first Tuesday of each month. This program is for adults 18 and older. No registration is required. Come see what this is all about. 

A book club for readers who love to eat... or is it for eaters who love to read? Has a great book ever inspired you to try a new restaurant? Have you ever tried to recreate a recipe described in a story? Did you fall into a trance during the Eat portion of Eat, Pray, Love and forget to finish the book? This might be the book club for you! In this brand new book club, we will read some great books and bring in recipes and treats to share that were inspired by the reading we did that month.
