Join us for an evening with award-winning humorist Jenny Lawson as she discusses her most recent bestseller Broken (in the best possible way), and her brilliantly funny body of work. Jenny is an American journalist, author and blogger known for her great candor in sharing her struggle with mental illness. She lives in Texas with her husband and daughter. Her previous books Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy were both New York Times bestsellers.

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.
