People are quick to complain about public workers but rarely take the time to say thanks and give praise for good work. Today I say thanks and acknowledge the fine work of the desk crew at the Norridge village hall. Thanks all , you made my visit quick and easy I just wanted to say thanks much Bob

The few times that I've gone here to village hall, I have found the village of Norridge staff to be…read morehelpful and polite. The only problem is that when the 2 weeks of early election voting is taking place, no special accommodations are made for the handicapped voters waiting in line. Standing up for more than 10 mins. becomes painful. The village officials should require the election judges using these premises to accommodate the handicapped. And to bring more than two voting machines, so the line doesn't back up out into the street and alley, like it has been.

Kids have a great time here. Yes, it's a small one room library but they really make it work. This…read moreis not actually a real library because it's inside the Chicago Park district, Rutherford Sayre Park. I'm hoping that Galewood will get it together soon and build and actual library for their neighborhood. It's definitely more of a kids library than an adults library. Although I do reserve books online for myself and just pick them up here. You can reserve books online at Chicago Public Library and have them delivered to the library of your choice. I choose this one because it's close to me. The librarians are super friendly and helpful. My kids love coming here to play with the toys and legos. When the weather is hot we go outside and get wet in the splash pad. Such a cute set up. Alderman Taliaferro, we are counting on you to step up and find an actual location for Galewood's library.

It is only one room in the fieldhouse of Rutherford Sayre Park. Park for free on the street (parallel or perpendicular) walk up either staircase and open the main door. turn down the left hallway and go to the end to the single room packed with books. They make the most of their space. They have tables with coloring and puzzles for small kids and many many books. If the kids get antsy, you can send them out to the adjacent playground and splash pad. It's also nice that you can request any book online and pick it up here. I live in OP, so I was able to get a CPL card and get access to more books. However, they only have two full-time employees, and so hours are not the best. Make sure you double-check before you go. Also they do not yet have a bookdrop here, you can always return your books at another CPL location like North Austin or West Belmont. Go check out this library!

This is the headquarters of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. We are so lucky to have…read morethis institution here as well as sister agencies in the suburbs and other areas of Illinois. I'm from Oregon which has lots hiking, state parks, and so on, but the forest preserves are special. They provide a lot of great programming and the agency maintains over 70,000 acres of woodlands, wetlands, trails, and other outdoor spaces in Cook County. My experience with the FPDCC has been to attend various programs they're hosting. Usually those are some sort of hike or trail walk with a naturalist providing context and education along the way. Whilst there's several nature centers (kind of akin to the field houses at parks in the Chicago Park District) in the FPDCC system with different amenities, there are picnic groves, walking/hiking trails, camp sites, aquatic centers, and places for folks to have events, etc. I've been to the more "typical" events you'd expect of a forestry agency, such as a night hike at Sand Ridge Nature Center; hike learning about and looking for beaver activity at Trailside; owl education at River Trail Nature Center; and so on. An event about nature journaling held by a FPDCC volunteer piqued my interest in learning more about and doing some nature journaling, and led me to join the Chicago Nature Journaling Club. But they also have tried to expand to include some cultural programming and that's totally my bag. One of the signature programs supported by the department of Conservation & Experiential Programming is the American Indian Center's annual pow wow at Schiller Woods. I haven't been to that yet but it's on my list! Today I went to one of the Black History Month programs they're hosting, which was a lecture-style program with an indoor poetry trail and a discussion and introduction to Black naturalists and environmentalists from the Chicago area and beyond. It was a really interesting presentation and I'm only sad that I was the only person besides the employees who showed up! But we did have some good conversation about trying to reconnect Black folks to nature, environmental racism, how the issues early Black activists were concerned about are still germane today, and what folks are doing in the present to ensure these concerns remain part of the conversation. I really appreciate the discussion I had with Art, Bill, and Will. I'll be attending the BHM program at Sand Ridge that is a self-guided tour through trails that connected to the Underground Railroad. The forest preserves are fascinating, y'all!
