Programs - Clarendon Hills Public Library

In response to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for limiting possible exposure to COVID-19, known as the coronavirus, the Clarendon Hills Library is cancelling all adult and youth programming until April 6 when staff will re-assess the situation. Every effort will be made to re-schedule cancelled programs when it is safe to do so.

One of the important things people can do to avoid exposure to the virus is to put distance between themselves and other people. Out of an abundance of caution, we've decided to cancel all programming to limit instances of close contact here at the library. This cancellation includes all presentations for adults and children, story times for children, book discussion groups, and movie screenings.

Pearl Harbor: Day of Infamy
When: Wednesday, December 08, 2021 7:00 PM
Ends on: Wednesday, December 08, 2021 8:00 PM
Where: Clarendon Hills Public Library

Eighty years ago, everything changed for the United States. It was a day that our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles would never forget, a day that would live in infamy forevermore - December 7, 1941.

We welcome historian and battlefield expert Robert Mueller to retell the story of that fateful day through photos and first-hand accounts of the Pearl Harbor attack that propelled the U. S. into the Second World War.

Mr. Mueller will review why and how the Japanese almost wiped out the American Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop. Using individual stories of the men who responded to the attack, he will present the tactics and the consequences of the most treacherous assault ever launched upon American soil. The program ends with a review of the surviving relics and, appropriately, a visit to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. This is a virtual program. Register to receive Zoom link.
