Bake along with us as we recreate our favorite foods in fiction! Each entry in our bi-weekly blog series will celebrate a book alongside a baked good from that book. We’ll share what we made and invite you to do the same!
This week: Marcel Proust's Madeleines
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.
