PROGRAM REGISTRATION IS A MUST! 

You can register for programs after you’ve registered for a Summer Reading Program at the YS Help Desk.

• Programs and performances designated “SRP” are only for those already registered in one of the North Riverside Library’s kid/teen summer reading programs and require advance registration — per program — in person at the YS Help Desk.

• Some space-limited SRP programs may also require entry tickets to be picked up prior to the program.

• For those programs not designated SRP, non-residents may attend only as space permits.  Register in person, online or by phone.

• Please note: Parents of children under age 10 are asked to remain in the library when their children are attending library programs, which may run as long as one hour.
