Pigeon, the Library Director
Roselle Public Library District
Description: Pigeon, from Mo Willems' beloved books, made a special visit to the library on Leap Day to dance with patrons. As you might expect, this inspired Pigeon to see if he could take over as library director in place of Samantha Johnson—after all, how hard could it be? (Very hard, as he quickly discovered. He's since flown the coop.)
Books Give You Wings
Edwardsville Public Library
Description: The photo showcases the library's newly installed wing wall, which has become a popular addition to the library.
Special Visitor
Peoria Public Library
Description: Librarian and literacy ambassador Mychal Threets visited the Peoria Public Library while in town for the 2024 ILA Annual Conference, where he served as the President's Program speaker.
