Cultural Events and Special<br />
Programs in a Virtual Way<br />
• With the Library buildings remaining closed and customers following the stay-at-home<br />
order to stay safe, the <strong>2020</strong> summer reading challenge was designed as an onlineonly<br />
program—a first for the Library community. Readers used an online app called Beanstack<br />
to track their reading and earn badges. Staff made a video emphasizing that reading can<br />
take you everywhere and a fun online game about children’s books was designed.<br />
• Another “first” for Library customers was a virtual Asian Pacific American<br />
Heritage Celebration in the form of a web page and Facebook events with craft<br />
demos, a quiz and history of history of the Laotian community in Elgin.<br />
• Another in-person event turned virtual for the annual Comic Book Mania<br />
Convention with trivia games, an interview with Stan Lee, craft tutorials and<br />
links to artist pages. www.gailborden.info/comicbookmania<br />
