Summer At CPL - Chapters of Chicago
Kick Off Event: Saturday, June 6, 10 A.M. - 3 P.M.
Join us at Legler, Woodson and Sulzer Regional Libraries for a kickoff that sets the tone for the season.
This year's theme, Chapters of Chicago, celebrates the stories, sounds, flavors and creativity that define our city. From neighborhood pride to citywide culture, every moment invites you to experience Chicago in a new way.
Kick off summer at your regional or make a day of it and go to all three. Each location brings its own energy, its own story, its own Chicago feel.
Summer at CPL continues across all 81 locations from June 6 through August 2, with programs, events and experiences happening in every neighborhood.
