Library, Village Teaming Up for 'Green Series'

The Grayslake Area Public Library is partnering with the Village of Grayslake to bring a truly unique experience created especially for the Grayslake area community: The Green Series.  

The Green Series is designed to provide opportunities for learning about the financial, health and environmental benefits of sustainable practices. Programs on topics ranging from healthier low-cost gardening, saving money on water and energy bills, and healthier food sources will be presented at the library on the third Wednesday of the month starting in April.  

The first in the series “Attracting Birds to Your Backyard,” by Lake to Prairie, a local chapter of Wild Ones, will be held Wednesday, April 17 at 7 p.m. This program will cover the what, why and how of attracting birds to your yard with native plants.

“We are excited to partner with the Village of Grayslake and offer the Green Series to inspire individual sustainable practices which will benefit the whole community,” said Library Director Roberta Thomas.

“The foundation for this series is to save residents in the Grayslake area money, help them foster a healthier lifestyle and improve our environment,” said Grayslake Environmental Stewardship Committee Member Mary Klees.

The Green Series is free however space is limited. All interested members of the community are encouraged to attend as many of the workshops as possible. To register for this program and to find out more about the Grayslake Area Public Library please go to, www.grayslake.info.
