Registration for Library programs requires a current library card from Skokie Public Library or a registered card from your "home" library. After you enter your card number and your last name to "log in" to the online calendar, your full name, phone number, and email address will automatically appear in the sign-up form as it currently appears in your Library account. You will be able to verify the information without having to type it every time you sign up for a program. This will improve accuracy and speed the registration process. If you call to register for a program, please have your Library card number ready for a staff member to enter for you.

For all programs that require registration...
  • Where noted, public registration ends 2 days before the program date.

  • After the registration deadline, available spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

 Released 2011 – 58 minutes – Not rated
Houda al-Habash, a conservative Muslim preacher, founded a Qur’an school for girls in Damascus, Syria, 30 years ago. Every summer, her female students immerse themselves in a rigorous study of Islam. A surprising cultural shift is underway — women are claiming space within the mosque. Shot right before the uprising in Syria erupted, The Light in Her Eyes offers an extraordinary portrait of a leader who challenges the women of her community to live according to Islam, without giving up their dreams. A film by Julia Meltzer and Laura Nix; this event is a collaboration with POV, PBS' award-winning nonfiction film series. A facilitated discussion will follow the viewing.
