Week Calendar

The Roaming Readers Walking Club is a group of book lovers who just love to get out in the fresh air, get some exercise, spend some time with nature, and chat about books with like-minded folks. The group does not read a book each month like a typical book club, instead, they just share what they've been reading and what they like while taking a leisurely stroll through the woods at Hoover Forest Preserve. We meet at Hoover Forest Preserve (11285 W Fox Rd, Yorkville) in the first parking lot (closest to Fox Rd - before you cross the railroad tracks) and walk from there. Weather permitting. Check with the library the day before if there is rain or excessive ice.  

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. 

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 interactive and engaging books plus activities for you and your child. Both programs today are the same.

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 us for songs, stories, and dancing. Your child will receive a take home craft to complete.

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.

Teens in grades 8-12 get together to share ideas about the teen area in the library. They will help create and plan programs. This group also has opportunities to earn volunteer hours. Great chance to meet new people and have some fun and laughs. 

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.  

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.
