Join us for storytimes, workshops, author visits, and more. Fresh events added often—there’s something for every age and interest.

In this first program in the Pekin Public Library's Tazewell County Bicentennial history series, library historian Jared Olar will tell of the county's native peoples, explorers, and settlers and how the county was established by the Illinois General Assembly on Jan. 31, 1827.
