Dave Ekstrom, a lifelong coin collector, member of the American Numismatic Association and retired school teacher will offer a presentation on Coin Collecting and gold and silver values. You will also have an opportunity to have your coins and gold or silver items appraised for free after the presentation. We will have to limit the number of items to three due to time limitations. Mr. Ekstrom will not appraise precious stones, pearls, or costume jewelry.
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.
