[Publib] September 11, Patriot Day

[BeAReader]

The Sugar Grove Library will join in with other libraries across the nation
in a day of remembrance and celebration. According to Bill Erbes, of the
Bensenville Community Library "libraries represent the sum of all human
knowledge, and they represent equal access to that knowledge. libraries
represent freedom of expression, celebration of diversity, a playing field
that is level, preservation of heritage, and commitment to the future."

The Sugar Grove Library will open our doors for service at 12:01 a.m. on
Monday, September 11, 2006 and remain open for 24 hours. During this time we
will host Ceremonies at our Flag Pole, story time, patriotic videos, a
night-time quilting bee, community gatherings, and visits from our local
Heroes with the Sugar Grove Police and Fire Departments. The Sugar Grove
Library Friends will be hosting a Coffee/ Snack Bar throughout the event.

We invite our community to join us throughout this remembrance to read,
reflect and resonate with pride in celebration of our American freedoms.
 Most of the time we just provide library business as usual, with people
acknowledging how special it is to have the opportunity to be with us as we
all remember.

If you are choosing to mark the day in anyway please also consider
registering your activity at The September Project site.
