The ECA is a proud supporter of the Edgebrook Branch Library. Located at 5331 W. Devon Ave, the library offers a wealth of entertainment and education media for the entire family.

The Edgebrook Branch Library is open Monday and Wednesday from Noon – 8 PM, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM – 6 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 9 AM – 5 PM.

Walk with us. Exercise in your neighborhood and take in the natural beauty Edgebrook has to offer. We will meet in the conference room on the first floor and then venture out to explore the North Branch Trail. Dress with the weather forecast in mind and bring a bottle of water.

This program is dependent on the weather. If inclement weather occurs the day of the walk, please call the library (312)744-8313 for cancellation information.

Have you ever wanted to be in a book club where everyone just got together and talked about the book they’re currently reading, the one they just finished, or the one that made an impact on them? If you answered yes, then this is the book club for you!

Prepare to talk about a book (or two) that made you happy, made you cry, made you stay up late to finish it or even one that you just plain hated.

Refreshments will be served.

Do you enjoy browsing through cookbooks? Do you love trying new dishes? Are you looking for new recipes to wow your family and friends? Then grab your apron and sign up for this cookbook club! We'll read and discuss Cook Like A Pro by Ina Garten. Visit the reference desk for a copy of the book, and select a recipe or two to make at home and serve to your family and friends. Then we'll all get together to dish on what worked and what didn't. Feel free to bring a dish to share.

We will meet in the community room at 10:00 a.m. (note the earlier time) to discuss the book. After the discussion, we'll walk over to Edgebrook's Farmers Market at 6525 N. Hiawatha Ave. to peruse what this year's harvest has to offer.
