What we’re about
Important: for programs that require registration, you must register via our library calendar. Signing up through meetup will not count! Please direct any questions you have to the library at help@dppl.org or by calling (847) 827-5551.
Whether you’re looking to just destress, meet other 20 & 30 somethings in town, or want to try something different (for free) with your friend group, DPPL has fun, creative, and relaxed programs for people in their 20s and 30s, give or take. We are flexible with the age range, just know these are geared toward this demographic.
### ONCE-A-MONTH PROGRAM
If this is you, you are and have always been welcome to all the other programming for adults, but be sure to check out our 20s & 30s events, found on the library calendar
Note that:
Some have limited supplies or seats and require registration VIA the Library (not through the meetup RSVP).
Some indicate alcohol will be served, and attendees must be 21 years or older.
### BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
We also have a NEW book discussion group for 20s &30s. We meet every other month, usually on the second Wednesday.
Register and pick up the next book at the 3rd floor registration desk, or check out the ebook or eaudiobook on Libby or Hoopla!

See all- 20s & 30s Book Club: The Secret History by Donna TarttDes Plaines Public Library, Des Plaines, IL
Read The Secret History by Donna Tartt and then come discuss it with us at the Des Plaines Public Library.
Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last--inexorably--into evil.
Copies of these books are available at the Readers Services desk on the 3rd floor of the library. Registration required. The book club will meet in Room A on the first floor of the Des Plaines Public Library @ 7:30pm on July 16th.
Please call (847) 376.2840 or email readersservicesdesk@dppl.org if you have any questions.
