Palos Park Public Library

This is a nice library, through I don’t go through often even through I do live in Palos Park. And for some people they have a nice walk to the theater. The library always is clean or at least you would hope it is, no books on the floor always nicely on a shelf. The last time I was at the library was to see Rick Kogan at the library. He and Charles Osgood have come to the library to have talk and show pictures taken, and a couple of time they had copies of their books Sidewalks and Sidewalks 2. And I have a copy of each book autographed by them. They have a website where they update when they have kid and adult programs, they show both kids and adult movies. The 2^nd Wednesdays of the month they have a brief discussion about a book, and then they show the movie that it is based on at 2:00 P.M. And they update on the website what movie will be shown, not that they I have attended. And then ever so often if scheduled they show a kid’s movie on Saturday afternoons which will be updated on the calendar. They also have movies to rent, but I am not totally sure how many dvds are in their collection, but they charge $ 1.00 a dvd to check out, and if you turn the movie back late, the overdue fee is $ 2.00 per day. Which just shows you that you don’t want to get a movie back late. But they let you keep the movie out for a week, and plus you get to take it out in the dvd case, and not another box that they have it in like you might find in any video stores that are still in business. Personally if I wanted to see a movie, I much rather get it from Netflix, where I can keep it out as long as I want to and no late fees. And of course they have plenty of books kids and adults that you can check out for free, but and I am not totally sure about it, so please do not quote me on it, but I think their late free for books are 10 cents per day. They are normally open for 6 days a week, Mondays thru Saturdays, and they are closed on Sundays, and major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. And you get to keep the books for 2 weeks which I would believe just as much time as any other library. But I can’t remember the last book I ever checked out of the library, which is okay for me because I am not a big reader of books.
