Bookmobile receives "Best Impression" Award

Homer Township Public Library District bookmobile made the "Best Impression" and won the award at a bookmobile roundup.

Nine bookmobiles from Chicago area libraries were on display at a meeting held at Indian Trails Public Library in Wheeling.

The Homer bookmobile was noted for its eye catching exterior graphics, the bright and welcoming interior, as well as its neatness and cleanliness.

Congratulations to Jody and the Homer Library team for their hard work and commitment to provide the best in outreach services to the growing Homer Community!

Happy Independence Day!

The Homer Library Bookmobile was featured in the Homer Township and Homer Glen Independence Day Parade.

We were honored to have the local Home Depot team create a giant book float that showcased the library improvements (pictured left). Although it was a rainy day, smiles were evident and we enjoyed participating!

PR for the HOMER HORIZON NEWS
And lastly a shout out to the local Homer Horizon newspaper, which is now proudly on the web! Jenny Korb the editor notes, "you can not only read and search stories and photos (which will be updated almost daily), and view videos, you can also post your own calendar listings, news, features and sports stories/briefs, photos and videos, chat on message boards/reader forums, etc. "

So if you have a moment, please check out the new Homer Horizon Web site at http://www.homerian.com/, and also feel free to start posting-the more interactive we are with the Web site, the better it will be. They will pull stories and photos from the Web site for use in the paper, so it will gain your event, story, photo or opinion even more exposure-and the Web site is also a great way to let residents know about events or listings that couldn't make it into their print version by deadline.
