Last month, our Mabel Manning branch (6 S Hoyne) was pleased to host Chicago Blackhawks left winger Patrick Sharp, where he read his favorite kids book, The Magic Hockey Stick, to a group of neighborhood kids. Blackhawks TV was there to document the special afternoon (above).
Tonight, the Hawks are hosting us for Library Night and we’re hoping to add to the team’s recent string of good fortune. The Blackhawks will recognize their strong partnership with CPL, anchored by the team’s sponsorship of our Teacher in the Library and CyberNavigators programs at Mabel Manning.
Chicago Public Library is honored to be recognized tonight at the United Center. Good luck to the Hawks, as they face off with the Dallas Stars and shoot for five straight wins!
