It’s summer in Chicago (finally!), the time to dip your toes in Lake Michigan, spread a picnic blanket in the park and slow down a bit. What better time to explore the wonders at our back door and consider their future?
The Chicago Public Library, in partnership with Garfield Park Conservatory and Chicago Department of Environment, presents Read Green, Live Green: Summer Reads for Adults – a summer long exploration of the environment through a unique combination of great books, author appearances, tours, performances and fun “green” workshops and events designed especially for adults and teens.
Parents and caregivers of young people enrolled in the Children’s Summer Reading Program will find this program offers a wonderful opportunity to read and discuss the same theme together each summer.
