Mindful Thursdays Build Calm and Creativity

• The Children’s Department recently shifted its mindfulness programming to Thursday evenings, alternating between Calm Play sessions and mindfulness-based crafts. Since making this change, staff have observed increased attendance and interest in these programs. On August 21, one of the most successful sessions took place with 26 participants creating their own calming sensory bottles. Using glitter, beads, water, and glue, children crafted personalized tools to support mindfulness at home. Families expressed excitement about the program and interest in repeating it, underscoring the value of offering engaging and practical activities that promote well-being.

  

  
  

  2025 Summer Send-Off: Reading & Resource Fair

• Our 2025 Summer Send-Off: Reading & Resource Fair brought nearly 300 community members together at Everts Park to celebrate the close of the Summer Reading Program. Families participated in activities including crafts, yoga, bounce

houses, magic shows, lotería, face painting, backpack giveaways, and more. New

this year, the Digital Facts & Fun Station gave families

the chance to explore online resources with Digital Navigators and even enter a raffle to win a laptop. Throughout the day, families shared how much they appreciated having a free, safe, and welcoming space to celebrate the end of summer while connecting with community resources. Parents remarked on the variety of activities available for children of all ages, and many expressed gratitude for the backpacks and supplies that helped them feel more prepared for the school year. By providing opportunities for joy, learning, and access to valuable services, the Summer Send-Off underscored the Library’s role as a community anchor where families can gather, grow, and thrive together. As shown to the right, families enjoyed the many activities provided; the Highwood Police Department provided a police car that fair attendees were able to decorate. Link to Gallery

Teen Advisory Board Supports Summer Send-Off

• On August 16, twelve members of the Teen Advisory Board volunteered at the Library’s Summer Send-Off event. Teens were eager to serve their community and played a key role in ensuring the event’s success. TAB members assisted with operating three activities: the craft tent, lotería, and police car painting. They followed instructions with enthusiasm, interacted with families, and helped create a welcoming environment. Their leadership and teamwork contributed to a smooth and engaging experience for nearly 300 attendees. This level of participation demonstrates how the Teen Advisory Board not only supports Library programming but also builds stronger connections between youth and the community.

  

  Teens Find Support Through Drop-In Therapy Pilot

• This month, the Library piloted a new six-week drop-in therapy program for teens in partnership with OMNI. The weekly Thursday sessions are designed to give teens a safe space to talk openly with a licensed professional about issues that impact their daily lives. In the first two sessions, topics ranged from AI and current events to gender identity, home environments, and personal challenges. Attendance varied between three and six teens, and what stood out most was the comfort participants expressed in having a trusted adult to listen. Teens described feeling at ease with Matthew, the therapist, and were willing to share their thoughts and experiences in this supportive group setting. Early feedback shows that this program is meeting a critical need. Teens are building trust, finding their voices, and learning that they are not alone in navigating complex issues. This pilot has already

demonstrated the importance of creating intentional spaces where young people can connect, reflect, and feel supported in their mental health journeys.

Adults Program (Updates from Alex and Aurora)

Spanish Book Discussion on Abraham Lincoln

• On August 13, nine adults participated in a Spanish-language book discussion of Abraham Lincoln: Su Liderazgo. Participants shared their own knowledge of Lincoln while also learning new and interesting details about his leadership during the U.S. Civil War. The conversation was lively and engaging, creating space for participants to deepen their understanding of history in a supportive environment.

  Success Story: ESL and Digital Navigation Student Finds Belonging and Support

• Mayra*, full of hope and determined to learn a third language, joined our ESL program. She shared that since coming to the United States from Italy six years ago, she has been working as a dishwasher. Surrounded by Spanish-speaking co- workers, she picked up the language naturally, adding Spanish to her Italian skills.

She explained that she joined our program not only to learn English, but also to build community. After undergoing a major surgery without family nearby to care for her, Mayra endured the recovery alone. The isolation left her feeling discouraged and depressed. From her very first ESL class, however, she felt welcomed. Surrounded by other learners, she discovered a supportive community that eased her loneliness. “I don’t feel alone anymore,” she shared.

“Everyone here makes me feel like I belong.” Recently, Mayra received a laptop through our Digital Navigation Learn to Earn Program. Her eyes filled with tears as she whispered, “No one has ever given me anything before. This is the first gift I’ve ever received. Thank you for believing in me.” Mayra’s journey reflects how the Library provides more than education. We offer a space for healing, connection, and community—ensuring that each learner feels valued and supported.

Building Understanding and Connection Through Familia a Familia

• One participant in the Familia a Familia (Family to Family) program expressed deep gratitude for the mental health information this program provided. She explained that the sessions helped her recognize mental health signs and symptoms and gave her language to use with loved ones who struggle with mental health challenges. As a result, she described feeling a new emotional closeness with a family member, something she had long desired. She also reflected on how the program encouraged her to acknowledge her past reactions and recognize how they may have contributed to the stigma surrounding mental health. With humility and a strong desire to learn, she described having a new mentality that is both preventive

and proactive.

This story illustrates how our partnership with NAMI to provide this program is

effectively reducing stigma, fostering growth, and strengthening family relationships in our community.

Strategic Planning

Update

• This month, members of the Board of Trustees, Highwood City Council, Friends of

the Highwood Public Library, and Library staff participated in a strategic planning session conducted by Carol Summerfield. The group reviewed the library’s current mission statement and worked to define the values of the library. The process will continue with the development of strategic objectives, goals and tactics, and the

group will reconvene for a second session on September 21st.

The Friends of the Highwood Public Library

• To address food insecurity during the summer, the Friends of the Highwood Public Library solicited lunches for children, donated a refrigerator, and volunteered to pick up food. As a result, the library was able to provide 1,396 lunches from 6/16/25 through 8/21/25, helping to ensure that children without access to free and reduced lunches did not go hungry. Our Friends provided amazing advocacy and partnership to address our community’s urgent unmet food needs.

• The Friends of the Highwood Public Library volunteered at the Summer Reading

Wrap Up event. We are very grateful for their support!
