Adults and children are invited to take home free comic books. A variety of comic books will be available during open hours on the date of the event. Free comic books will be available at the following five library branches: Decatur, East Washington, Garfield Park, Nora, and Southport.
What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
