Enjoy snacks, activities, and the chance to meet several local groups, including Patch, at the Lisle Library District's "You Belong @ Your Library" event.
from Lisle Library District Did you know dozens of groups call the Lisle Library their meeting place? To celebrate National Library Week, the library will hold an open house on Saturday, April 14 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. This year’s Library Week theme is “You Belong @ Your Library.” To showcase “belonging at the library,” twenty of the groups that regularly meet at the Lisle Library will be on-hand with literature about their groups.

Usually I stray from commentary, but here are five things I've come to love as a Lisle resident. (Also known as: watch me attempt to blacksmith.)
1. BNSF overpasses: It's usually when I'm on my way to a Patch editors meeting in a fellow commuter town that I come to appreciate the infrastructure that exists downtown Lisle. While Maple Avenue can get backed up at rush and a stream of cars pour from the Lisle Commuter Station, it's nothing compared to the agony of the wait in other places (most notably every time I order carry-out from Thipi Thai in Glen Ellyn, which can't be more than 100 yards north of the train tracks). 2. Bike trails: When I lived in Chicago, my bike was stolen from my building. While chained to a stairwell.

Sept. 29 marks the date of Lisle Patch's virtual birth. Let us know what you'd like to see as we grow.

It wasn't a date for the history books, but is is a notable one for me: last year on Sept. 29, Lisle Patch officially 'went live' to the world. It started off with a story about a visiting firefighting student from Poland, District 203 Merit Scholarship semifinalists and volunteers that built Giant Steps a new playground in two days. I'm proud to say a year later, the site attracts thousands of readers each month. We've generated more than 1,800 articles, in addition to photos, videos and tons of comments. We want to continue to be a place where residents and groups can post information on upcoming events (from garage sales to charity events), notable information, …
