Fun and free events to get you through your hump day.

The Hobbit's Quest Begins


Middle school students can set out on an epic Hobbit-inspired quest of adventure and survival challenges with the Oak Lawn Public Library this morning at 10 a.m. Teams of two or three will use a map to overcome obstacles and gather treasure. Participants will meet at the Oak Lawn Park District’s Wolfe Wildlife Refuge at 109th and Laramie.

Anna Karenina at the Oak Lawn Public Library


The Oak Lawn Public Library will host two screenings of this compelling drama at 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. today. Set in late 19th-century Russia high-society, the aristocrat Anna Karenina enters into a life-changing affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The film will be shown in Meeting Room B.

And While You're in the Neighborhood...


Just east of the Oak Lawn Public Library, you'll find the Oak Lawn Farmers' Market, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Come out and purchase some of this summer's freshest produce at 52nd Street and Dumke Drive.
