Happy New Year from Youth
We hope you had as much fun at the library as we did in 2024! We loved bringing over 500 storytimes and programs to you, our wonderful community. We loved marveling with you at your smart, amazing children, laughing together during silly stories and songs, and delighting in their cute voices and growing personalities. Thank…
Finding the Right Fit: Preschool and Child Care Information Night
In Mount Prospect, we are fortunate to have an abundance of high-quality early childhood programs to choose from — but that can also be quite daunting. MPPL is here to help by offering our various resources.
Space-Themed Fun For Everyone
Day-to-day life with a child can sometimes feel full of mundanity – and at the same time, all of those moments are helping to grow, guide, and shape a whole incredible human being. It’s hard to hold both things at the same time. We’re here for you. This November, we have two programs that combine an everyday trip to the library with a chance to explore and dream big!
Introducing Novel Effect!
The Youth department has been testing out a new library resource — and now we are thrilled to bring that resource, Novel Effect, to our patrons!
