Celebrate Sweetest Day with AAPLD

October 20 is Sweetest Day.  Sweetest Day started in 1922 by Ohio philanthropist and candy company employee Herbert Birch Kingston.  He started the holiday by giving candy and small gifts to orphans and the under-privileged in intent to show them they are not forgotten.

The holiday started to spread, and today is celebrated with loved ones and friends.  Celebrate this day with your sweetie and let the Algonquin Area Public Library help!

• The Harnish Main Library at 2600 Harnish Drive and the Eastgate Branch at 115 Eastgate Drive are open from 9 am to 5 pm today, October 20.  Come with your sweetie and browse through the collections of books.  Pick up a love story like Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks.
