Yesterdays rallies served many purposes in bridging alliances between wards to show that the Evansto Library System is a connection of people, places and ideas. People of all ages joined together in support of neighborhood libraries.
Libraries serve an muliple purpose in todays world. They are not just places that house books, they are or can be the heart of a neighborhood. They are places where people can go and no one asks them for anything.

In the last 24 hours, two break-ins were reported in Evanston's 6th Ward. One on Central Park between Golf and Payne and the other in the 3300 block of Payne.
The Central Park residents were home and managed to scare away the intruder. At the burglary on Payne, sometime between noon and midnight, valuables were taken.
