The Tolono Library District is having a Touch-A-Truck event on Saturday, September 30, 2023, from 1-3:30PM at the Sadorus Community Park, 203 N West St, Sadorus. Touch-A-Truck promotes play-based learning by allowing children of all ages to get up close and interact with large vehicles and equipment, as well as to speak with the equipment’s operators. A variety of community businesses and organizations will be present at the park, including Martin Equipment, Sadorus Fire and Rescue, Carle Health, Tatman’s Towing, Ameren, and Jeff Little Farm. Chelle’s Dogs will also be there as our food vendor. In addition to the vehicles, we will have crafts, music, and a StoryWalk.
The program is free and will happen rain or shine. The last half hour will be sensory friendly with no sirens, lights, or music.
Tolono Public Library District is the public library for Tolono, Sadorus, and Savoy, but all Illinois residents are welcome at this event! Attendees of Touch-A-Truck do not need to show their library card or to have a library card with the district.

Please take a few moments to answer the survey questions. The more information we receive, the better we’ll be able to create a strategic plan for the placement of sidewalks and bike paths for safe travel to and from school. You are a resident of the Village of Tolono and your opinion matters. It is important that we prepare for the future and become a community that stands out above all others.
