Celebrate our summer of reading with a picnic and live entertainment on the library lawn!
Families are invited to bring a picnic dinner starting at 6:00. We'll have free shaved ice from the Kona Ice truck from 6:00–7:30, compliments of the Friends of the Wilmette Public Library. At 6:30, Pocket Circus will entertain us with their unique mix of acrobatics, juggling, and magic, with lots of audience participation and laughs!
We encourage participants to bring a blanket or lawn chairs to sit on. Keep small children close to you at all times. In case of rain or extreme heat, the show will take place in the Auditorium.
