When I was a young adult, I was mostly all about movies. The only books I read were the Sweet Valley High series. My English-lit-major mother tried to introduce other types of books, to no avail.

Dear Skokie community,

I’m not going to lie—I used to roll my eyes at the thought of reading romance. I thought it was all fluff and cheesy innuendos without any substance (shirtless Fabio, anyone?). Many friends and colleagues felt otherwise, and they weren’t alone.

On Saturday, September 28, right before closing time, our staff became aware that a young person had carried a firearm into the library.

One of the best aspects of being the new director of this library is meeting people from our community and listening to them explain how much they love the library.
