Keep Them Clear

Friendly reminder to "Keep Them Clear". Please help emergency personnel this winter season by remembering to clear the area around the fire hydrant.

Snow Parking Regulations

Parking on city streets in the United City of Yorkville is prohibited after a snowfall of more than 2 inches. Residents are reminded that parking is banned for 24 hours after the snowfall has ended. Any vehicles parked on city streets are in violation of a city ordinance and may receive a $50 citation.

Safety Information About Snow Piles

Please do not allow children to play in snow piles left by snowplows on the sides of street or in cul-de-sacs. Building forts in these areas can have serious consequences when snow removal equipment is in use. Thank you for your cooperation during these winter months.

Get ready for the annual Mini Golf FUN Raiser! The Yorkville Public Library, in partnership with the Friends of the Yorkville Library, are excited to be planning the Mini Golf FUN Raiser. Come out to the Library (902 Game Farm Rd) for 18 uniquely themed holes of mini golf inside the Yorkville Library! Each hole is sponsored by a local business or family, and decorated by that business, family, or a non-profit from the community! Event tickets are $5 per golfer and are available now at the Circulation Desk during library hours. The annual raffle will be held in conjunction with the mini golf event. Come take a sneak peek at the raffle prizes at the Yorkville Library throughout the month of January! Raffle tickets will be available beginning in January ($1 each or $5 for 6 tickets). We will also have our Characters for a Cause coming to entertain the children while waiting to golf. You can find Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, and DC characters walking around interacting with everyone and giving an opportunity for a photo op. This is one of the 2 large fund raisers that the Friends sponsor for the Library each year. The money earned from the event goes back to the library for the purchase of new books and to fund special programs, materials, and services for library patrons and the community. A special thank you to our main event sponsor, Metronet! Join us as a golfer or a sponsor! We are still accepting sponsors and raffle donations.

Art and Poetry, February 25 · 1:00pm at the Yorkville Public Library, Michelle Pfister Meeting Room

Join us on a journey through the perspective of a total of 12 individual poets and artists!

This event began as an experiment back in January of 2022 when a poet submitted an original poem to serve as inspiration. In February, an artist created a piece of art inspired by that poem. In March, a different poet crafted a poem based on the February art, and so on throughout the year. Join us on February 25^th as the poets and artists will read and reveal their work for the first time! Will the theme remain the same throughout? We can't wait to see!
