Regarded as America's most popular painter during his life, Norman Rockwell has endured in the memories of people who enjoyed the covers he painted for The Saturday Evening Post. This program takes a look at the development of Rockwell's career from his earliest days at The Post through his work for Look and Life magazines. Rockwell's appeal today is based mostly on commercially produced reproductions of his work on everything from posters to coffee mugs.

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.
