Philo Public Library District

Ornament Workshop and Village Tree Decorating/Lighting
We at the Library consider this the kickoff of our Holiday Season.  On Sunday, December 8, bring your children in from 3:00-4:00 p.m. to create ornaments and decorations to take home.  Following the Ornament Workshop, at 4:00 p.m. there will be Christmas Caroling, Decorating of the Village Christmas Tree (behind the Library) and lighting of the tree,  followed by refreshments in the Library meeting room.  Help us kick off our Holiday Season by attending this annual event.  If you don’t have kids to come to the Ornament Workshop, come at 4:00 p.m. and join in the festivities.  This event is sponsored by the Library and Philo HCE.

The Philo Public Library is sorry to say that as of August 31st, 2013, we will no longer be taking aluminum cans for recycling. Unfortunately the expense of transporting the cans for recycling has been increasing over the years and the income from the cans has been decreasing. We would like to remind you that the village has large recycling bins just down the road from us so you may continue in your efforts to keep our earth green. We would like to Thank You for all your support in the past years.

The Friends of the Philo Public Library have book bags for sale for $12.00. They the perfect size to carry your favorite books, dvds, and magazines.

You may be noticing changes in our local Library system. The formerly Lincoln Trails Library system is now the Illinois Heartland Libraries System. The Philo Public Library webpage can still be found at www.PhiloLibrary.info, however our email address has been changed to PhiloPubLib@gmail.com. We will continue to let our patrons know of changes as they occur.
