Presenter asks Palos Park council to approve revival of Palos Reads author series
Summary
Julia Joseph of Palos Fine Arts asked the Village of Palos Park council to approve pursuing a revived Palos Reads author series timed with Arbor Day and to lock a tentative April 2027 date while author Amy Stewart will be in the region.
Julia Joseph, a presenter with Palos Fine Arts, told the council she wants to revive the Palos Reads author series and tie it to the village’s Arbor Day celebration. "Tonight, I'm excited to present a turnkey opportunity to celebrate both," Joseph said, describing the village’s tree canopy and community as the program’s central themes.
Joseph said she has contacted the author’s publicist and that New York Times bestselling author Amy Stewart is available during an April 2027 visit to Northern Illinois, when she will be speaking at the Woodside Opera House. "Tonight, I'm asking the board's approval to for this for a concept so we can lock a date and bring this wonderful celebration back to Palos Park," Joseph said. No formal motion or vote on the proposal was recorded in the meeting transcript; the request was presented for the council’s consideration.
