Saturday: 11 a.m. -1 p.m. at New Lenox Public Library, 120 Veterans Parkway

Finale Game Carnival & DJ/Game Show

The celebration is for kids who have completed their reading goals. They'll need their library-distributed summer passports to get in for the Finale Game Carnival & DJ/Game Show. It's sure to be fun.

While the kids are at the party, be sure to stop by and see the library's newest addition, the Senior Center located in the Adult Services Department on the second floor.
