11/18/25 @ 7:00pm - 11/18/25 @ 8:00pm Virtual Bloomingdale Public Library Registration is required. Registration starts: 12/31/1969 @ 6:00pm Registration end: 11/18/2025 @ 7:00pm Revealing Venus

Please join us for a fantastic Zoom presentation hosted by Michelle Nichols!

Earth's nearest planetary neighbor is far from earthlike. With its acid clouds, searing temperatures, and crushing air pressure, it seems vastly different from our home planet Earth. We'll discuss what we know about Venus now, what it may have been like in the past, and what Venusian mysteries we would still like to solve - as well as how the study of planets around other stars helps us learn more about Venus. 

Michelle Nichols is Director of Public Observing at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, IL, and has worked at the Adler since June 1995. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Master of Education degree in Curriculum and Instruction from National-Louis University. Ms. Nichols leads all of the Adler Planetarium's telescope, observatory, and public sky observing initiatives and events. Before landing at the Adler Planetarium, Michelle worked at U.S. Space Camp (Titusville, FL), the Astronaut Memorial Planetarium (Cocoa, FL), and the Staerkel Planetarium (Champaign, IL).

YOUR CAR: BUMPER-TO-BUMPER. BUYING, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, AND MORE!

What it means when your engine light comes on? What kind of gasoline should I buy? What is tire pressure monitoring? What are the pros and cons in buying gasoline vs. electric vehicles (EV's)? How do I find and keep the right mechanic?

With the costs of buying, maintaining, and repairing a car going up, up, up, now more than ever it is important to know as much about your car as possible. 

Please join Triton College lecturer emeritus Bill O'Connell as he answers any and all your questions on car buying, maintenance and repair. Bring your questions! 

 

 

08/09/25 @ 10:00am - 08/09/25 @ 12:00pm Room C Bloomingdale Public Library Community Group Regular meet up

09/23/25 @ 5:00pm - 09/23/25 @ 8:45pm Room A/B Bloomingdale Public Library Community Group A fun, interactive, and informative event to launch our League’s Unite and Rise 8.5 campaign. On April 17, League of Women Voters CEO Celina Stewart and President Dianna Wynn issued a clear call: our country is in a constitutional crisis. Under the current administration, we've seen the erosion of checks and balances, open defiance of the Supreme Court, and the unlawful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. We the People must fight back. That’s why the League is launching Unite & Rise 8.5, a bold campaign to mobilize 8.5 million people—the critical mass needed to drive nonviolent democratic change. Our speaker is Dr. William Muck, Professor of Political Science at North Central College, who will present Under Attack: The State of Democracy Around the World. Professor Muck will explore global trends in democracy, highlighting data that shows democracy under attack in every region of the world. He will explore the implications of this democratic decline and focus specifically on the case of American democracy. He will also reflect on the dramatic actions taken by the Trump administration and offer thoughts on how they fit within this broader anti-democratic moment.
