Soldier, Onawa, Whiting and Mapleton libraries put on a night hike with the help of Monona County Naturalist and DNR employees. Participants enjoyed s'mores, a scavenger hunt and crafts for the kids. When it got dark everyone ignited their red-filtered flashlights.
They stopped at different stations to experience things that night creatures might experience. One particular stop involved seeing the footprints of the animals who frequent the area. We also got to see many nocturnal invertebrates which are attracted to the
light. It was a great time to get out and enjoy our county park and find our voices in the dark.<br>

The iREAD/ILA Office Is Moving! </h2>
<br>
In case you haven't heard, there's an update regarding the iREAD/ILA office – we're moving to a new location! While we'll still be in Chicago, our new home will be in the vibrant West Loop.<br>
<br>
The last day in our current location is Friday, June 30. On that day, we'll be closing the office to ensure a smooth transition to our new digs.<br>
<br>
Please note that the office will reopen on Wednesday, July 5, ready to serve you once again.
<em><strong>If you have any questions, please contact us via email at <a href="mailto:ila@ila.org" target="_blank" style="color:#007C89; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:underline">iREAD@ila.org</a></strong></em> as there will be some transition time as
we move our phone system to our new location. <br>
<br>
Please continue sending mail to the address indicated on your invoice/receipt. We will update you once the new address is in effect. <br>
