What we’re about
Important: for programs that require registration, you must register via our library calendar. Signing up through meetup will not count! Please direct any questions you have to the library at help@dppl.org or by calling (847) 827-5551.
Whether you’re looking to just destress, meet other 20 & 30 somethings in town, or want to try something different (for free) with your friend group, DPPL has fun, creative, and relaxed programs for people in their 20s and 30s, give or take. We are flexible with the age range, just know these are geared toward this demographic.
### ONCE-A-MONTH PROGRAM
If this is you, you are and have always been welcome to all the other programming for adults, but be sure to check out our 20s & 30s events, found on the library calendar
Note that:
Some have limited supplies or seats and require registration VIA the Library (not through the meetup RSVP).
Some indicate alcohol will be served, and attendees must be 21 years or older.
### BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
We also have a NEW book discussion group for 20s &30s. We meet every other month, usually on the second Wednesday.
Register and pick up the next book at the 3rd floor registration desk, or check out the ebook or eaudiobook on Libby or Hoopla!

20s & 30s Book Club: Wicked by Gregory Maguire
Des Plaines Public Library, 1501 Ellinwood St, Des Plaines, IL, USRead Wicked by Gregory Maguire and then come discuss it with us at the Des Plaines Public Library.
Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald=green skin--no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz's most promising young citizens. But Elphaba's Oz is no utopia.
Copies of these books are available at the Readers Services desk on the 3rd floor of the library. Registration required. The book club will meet in the Forum on the fourth floor of the Des Plaines Public Library @ 7:30pm on November 12th.
Please call (847) 376.2840 or email readersservicesdesk@dppl.org if you have any questions.
