From the Director: Dear Library Community, I would like to introduce myself to those of you who haven’t already met me. My name is Jane Jenkins and I am the new Director at the Green Hills Public Library District. I worked at GHPLD for 14 years before working at the Oak Lawn Public Library as the Department Head for Customer Service. I am delighted to be back and reacquainting myself with the staff and the community. Please feel free to stop by and see me any time you are in the Library. It’s a great place to be! September is a busy month for parents and students as back-to-school preparations take place. Studies show that children who are
read to in the home and who use the Library perform better in school. September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when GHPLD joins with the American Library Association and public libraries nationwide to make sure that every student has the most important school supply of all — a free library card. Your GHPLD Library card allows access to a large number of databases including Tutor.com, a great resource for students needing homework help. Tutor.com is available from home or in the Library using your GHPLD Library card. You can always visit the Library for materials and programs and meet with our knowledgeable library staff. We have a fantastic line up of programs scheduled for September and October, including One Tough Cookie with Mindy Segal, Lunch and a Movie, Family Bingo, and Incredible Bats. Take a look inside to see what we have to offer!
