involved in school, parish and village activities. Elizabeth
feels that Evergreen Park, besides being a great place to
raise a family, is also a wonderful community in which to
enjoy her four grandchildren who are growing up in the
same neighborhood as their parents did.
Elizabeth retired after 34 years of teaching high school
English and is now relishing everything she does knowing
she does not have to set an alarm clock for the next day.
She is proud to have served as a Trustee on the Library
Board since 2005. "The Evergreen Park Public Library is a jewel in our village and a
great place for residents of all ages to come together. I salute the Director and her staff
for making the Library such an important, educational and fun part of our lives".

Save the Date! Author Sara Paretsky
Sunday, September 12, 1:00 pm
Sara Paretsky
revolutionized the mystery
world in 1982 when she
introduced her Chicago-based
detective V.I. Warshawski, a
female investigator who uses
her wits as well as her fists.
Local color abounds,
including traffic on the
Stevenson Expressway, and
the perennial travails of the
Cubs. Hailed by critics and
readers, her first novel
Indemnity Only was followed
by twelve more best-selling Warshawski novels.
Seating is limited. Register in person and pick up a color
coded index card for placement in the signing line. Books
will be available for purchase before and after the
presentation.
