Join us at the Naperville Public Library and enjoy a week full of fun programs and activities! Children’s Book Week celebrates books, authors, illustrators and ideas in libraries and bookstores from all across our country.

Visit the Children’s Services desks at any of our three facilities and play the guessing jar game! Whoever guesses how many items are in the jar, or closest to it, get to take all the goodies home!

Enter our Children’s Book Week raffle for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to Anderson’s Bookshop! There will be one winner from each building.
