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.  

Learn to paint with Carolyn Kyle. In our fun new art series, learn the basics of painting - each month focusing on different techniques, mediums, or styles. From basic brush strokes to matting and framing your masterpieces, come check it out and dabble a bit with Carolyn.

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 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.

The Lunch Bunch is one of our longest running and most engaging book clubs. Past books have included mysteries, historical fiction, biographies and memoirs, romance, and best-sellers. Bring your lunch and join the Lunch Bunchers for a lively discussion about great books. Meetings are the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 12:00 noon. 

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. 

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.  

In this two session book club, we will read an easy reader chapter book and discuss it.  Please register for both dates on the YPL website.
