Library Services	Overall, the library’s traffic has been busy, as we saw the third highest door count for the fiscal year, and the second highest in 2026 in April. Recent trends have been that our Adult Services staff is seeing more patrons come in during the first few hours we are open. We also tend to get busy around the times programs start in the late afternoon. Our Adult Services Department placed multiple new book/movie orders in April. These orders included books in English and Spanish (fiction and non-fiction), along with new films on DVD. People continue to ask about donating books to the library, as the library had temporarily suspended accepting donations until May. The print station area has seen quite a bit of use, including faxing. April also saw the highest number of unique patrons use Hoopla, at 76 patrons, for the fiscal year.

Children’s Services

(Diana W.)

Día del Niño: Celebrating Our Youngest Community Members

The Children's Department hosted a special celebration in honor of Día del Niño, welcoming families for an evening full of pizza, music, fun giveaways, and a family movie. The event filled the Children's space with energy and joy, bringing together both familiar faces and newer families discovering the Library for the first time. The celebration also served as a meaningful opportunity to connect families with upcoming programming and highlight the many resources available to them throughout the year. – 57 participants

Astronomy Under the City Lights with the Lake County Astronomical Society

Highwood Library partnered with the Lake County Astronomical Society to offer families a rare and exciting opportunity to explore the night sky through high-powered, specialized telescopes. While the Library already houses a telescope donated by the LCAS as part of its Library of Things collection, the Society brought additional equipment so that multiple families could observe simultaneously. The after- hours event drew an impressive turnout, with families eager to get a closer look at the stars and planets together. The program sparked curiosity and wonder across all ages, reinforcing the Library's commitment to offering unique learning experiences that go beyond the walls of the building.

– 72 participants (42 adults)

Teen Services (Lauren)

Natural Dye Workshop with Volunteer Hannah

Teens had the opportunity to learn the art of fabric dyeing using natural dyes, guided by volunteer Hannah. Participants worked with an indigo dye and an onion- based yellow dye to create their own tote bags, scrunchies, and bandanas. The hands-on process sparked curiosity about natural materials and sustainable crafting, and teens left with one-of-a-kind creations that reflected their creativity and effort. – 7 participants

Success Story: Earth Day Embroidery: Wearing Your Identity In celebration of Earth Day, teens learned how to revamp their old clothing through embroidery, turning everyday items into personalized works of art. The program encouraged participants to express their individual personalities through fashion design while embracing the values of sustainability and creative reuse.

Teens took pride in their finished pieces, especially knowing they could wear their creations. The program created a strong sense of accomplishment and self- expression, demonstrating how art and sustainability can come together to empower young people to see themselves and their belongings in a new way. – 7

participants

Adult Services (Alex,

Aurora)

New Adult Knitting Program Launches on Saturday Afternoons

A new volunteer-led knitting program for adults launched in April, offering Saturday afternoon sessions for participants of all experience levels. The program complements the Library's ongoing crochet offerings and, in line with our strategic plan, expands creative and social programming available to adult patrons. Participants embraced the new opportunity right away, joining in with enthusiasm and curiosity.

Digital Navigation: One-on-One Support

Our Digital Navigators held 133 one-on-one sessions this month, each designed to build foundational technology skills in a personalized and supportive setting. Sessions focused on essential skills such as sending and checking emails, navigating online platforms, and building overall confidence with computer use. The flexible scheduling model allows participants to attend consistently, including those who are unable to participate in group classes due to work or personal commitments. This individualized approach continues to be one of the most impactful ways the Library meets community members where they are.

Success Story: From Uncertainty to Independence: Mrs. Martha's Journey

Mrs. Martha* shared that she feels very proud of her progress as she is now able to use a computer independently. Before attending one-on-one sessions with our Digital Navigators, Mrs. Martha did not know how to send or check emails. Through consistent and personalized support, she has gained both the skills and the confidence to navigate technology on her own. Although she had some exposure to computers in her teenage years, she noted that technology has changed significantly and expressed motivation to continue learning new programs and tools. She also shared appreciation for the one-on-one format, noting that the flexible scheduling made it possible for her to attend consistently in a way that group classes could not accommodate. Mrs. Martha's story reflects the experience of many participants who benefit from personalized support that meets them at their own pace and on their own schedule. *Name changed to maintain client privacy.

Health Equity (Yenny)

The Artwork of TIERRA: Healing Together

On April 12, the Health Equity team and TIERRA participants were invited to attend the exhibit The Artwork of TIERRA: Healing Together, a deeply moving experience that brought to life the artwork of participants and facilitators. Beyond the visual art, the exhibit captured lived experiences and themes of community, cultural pride, transformation, healing, creativity, resilience, ease, and radical hope. A panel discussion accompanied the exhibit, where Lead Case Manager and TIERRA facilitator Viridiana Gonzalez joined representatives from other Lake County organizations to share her experience leading the program and its impact on both her professional and personal life. In preparation for the exhibit, the team coordinated transportation and personally invited participants to create Milagro Corazones on February 7 as

part of Brushwood Center's initiative in collaboration with local artist Nydia Gonzalez-Carson. – 12 participants

Legal Support Through Partnership

Highwood Library is grateful for its partnership with the Center for Immigrant Progress (CIP),

which has made it possible to connect community members with free legal consultations, information and resources. Between February and April, a total of 64 legal consultation appointments were coordinated through this collaboration. This partnership reflects the Library's commitment to meeting the most

pressing needs of our community with dignity, clarity, and trusted support.

Groceries for Highwood Residents

The Library’s Case Management Essentials program provided 15 bags of groceries to library patrons each day the library was open, totaling 390 bags of groceries distributed to community members at the library during the month of April.

Board Meeting Open Items

Question about door count: The door count listed in the Statistics is accurate, as it reflects only those entering (not exiting) the library.
