   We now have started a book drop off service for home bound patrons. This is a free service to our River Grove Patrons!
   We have added tons of DVD’s to our collection. They are free with a valid Adult River Grove Library Card. Two per person!  Check’em Out!
   Video Gaming Tournaments are happening throughout the summer. Mario Kart. Nintendo. X-Box. We have it all! Join us for summer fun, because once school starts we’ll be thinking more about help with homework! Some events need sign-up, some are just drop in.  Need more information? Call and ask for Mrs. Tucker, or just stop in.
   Did you know that we have 6 New Computer/Internet Stations? Well, we do! You are welcome to browse the Net, or work/ print your projects on our color printer! (If you’re working on your resume, now’s a good time to come in; we’ve added quite a number of career and resume books to our collection this year).
   If you already seen our 120+ DVD’s, read our 30,000+ books, browsed our 80+ magazines, and are looking for something new or something that we don’t have, just go to our web site at:   www.rivergrovelibrary.org  select “Library Catalog” and request it with your library card.

         The Internet Public Library

The Internet Public Library is the first public library of the Internet. As librarians, we are committed to providing valuable services to that world. We do so for many reasons: to provide library services to the Internet community, to learn and teach what librarians have to contribute in a digital environment, to promote librarianship and the importance of libraries, and to share interesting ideas and techniques with other librarians.

The IPL Ready Reference Collection is a collection of Internet resources gathered together with the needs of the Internet community in mind. It is not intended to be a comprehensive hotlist to all sites on every subject, but rather an annotated collection, chosen to help answer specific questions quickly and efficiently. Sources are selected according to ease of use, quality and quantity of information, frequency of updating, and authoritativeness. For further information, please see About the Ready Reference Collection.
