This summer the Lake Forest Library will launch a new
program for adults and teens – One Book/One City LF. All Lake Forest residents are being invited
to read Manhunt:
the Twelve Day Hunt for Lincoln’s Killer by James L. Swanson. The book gives a fast-paced, hour-by-hour
account of the search for John Wilkes Booth, told from multiple viewpoints.
The program begins June 1 and continues through August 4, in
conjunction with our Summer Reading Programs. Free copies of the book are
available to the first 30 residents to register. Limit one per family. Additional copies are available for
check-out. A grand prize drawing for a
Kindle will take place the first week of August.
Related programs include:
- A family
presentation by Civil War re-enactors Bob
and Jeff Johnson of the Eighth Illinois Calvary Reenactment Group
Saturday June 16 at 1:00pm, in the Children’s Activity Room.
- Book discussions
led by Judy Levin at the Library Monday June 11 at 12:30pm and Wednesday July
18 at 7:00pm; Wednesday June 20 at 1:00pm at the LF/LB Senior Center.
Although registration and prizes are limited to Lake Forest
residents all programs are free and open to the public.
The Adult Summer Reading Program will run as it has in the
past. Come to the Reference Desk to register. It’s
easy and there are great prizes. Read, or listen to, four books and you will
receive a $5 library print card. Just turn in your completed reading record to
the Reference Desk or post a comment for each book in BiblioCommons.
Your name will be entered into the grand prize drawing. The drawing will take place the first week in August and prizes must be claimed by September 1st. Prizes include local restaurant gift certificates, a Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce gift certificate, an Apple gift certificate, Williams and Sonoma gift certificates, and Lake Forest Bookstore gift cards. You must be a Lake Forest resident 19 years or older to participate. One entry per resident cardholder.
