Details on Ann Patchett's Visit

Author Ann Patchett visits Wilmette, Sunday, May 20, 2 pm, at Wilmette Junior High School located at 620 Locust Road, Wilmette.  Parking is located on the side and at the back of the building.  The District 39 parking lot across the street is also available for parking.

All tickets have been given out.  Please note if you did not get a ticket:  Ticketed seats will be held until 10 minutes before the event, and, at that time, all unfilled seats will be open to attendees without tickets.

 Park Avenue is Getting a Facelift

The Village is currently in the process of resurfacing Park Avenue between Lake and Wilmette Avenues. The street is open and the parking lots are accessible but you may want to build in some extra time if you are coming to an event at the library.

Local History

Did you know that WPL has an online index of the Lake Shore News & Wilmette Life? We're also very excited that the 1940 Census has been released.
