The Madeleine Project by Clara Beaudoux
In a visual novel that is perfectly placed in the age of Twitter, The Madeleine Project is a true story of a life of love on the brink of oblivion. When a young woman moves into a Paris apartment and discovers belongings from the previous owner, she begins to document that life with a delicate touch and tenderness. In doing so she recounts a life well lived amidst broader events of European history.
The 1501 Ellinwood Street library building is the realization of a longheld dream of the library board, staff and community partners. Located in the heart of downtown Des Plaines, the four story, 82,000 square foot building represents the community's commitment to reading, lifelong learning, and a center for family activities. A grand central staircase and large windows provide a wealth of natural light and illuminate the building at night.
