On this week's episode of Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois talks with Jennifer Davis of Peoria Public Library. Davis discusses the library’s wide array of programming this autumn that will be a perfect fit for falling temperatures and cozying up with a book.
Jennifer also talks about how Peoria Reads 2025, a citywide initiative exploring "Holding the Note" by David Remnick, connects Peoria's rich musical history with national conversations about some of the most influential performers of the past 50 years. With book clubs like "Boos and Booze" and "Lattes and Lit," there are opportunities for all ages. The library is also offering expanded teen programming this season, especially for young creative entrepreneurs looking to explore their talents.
