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.  

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.

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. 

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. 

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 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.  

Get excited and energized about reading with the YPL Men's Book Club, a monthly group that centers on thought provoking and lively discussions about fascinating and diverse books from all different genres. Recent titles have included historical fiction, sci-fi/fantasy, literary fiction, biography, historical nonfiction, and even best sellers. Newcomers are always welcome. The group meets at 7:00 pm on the 3rd Thursday of every month.
