Virtual Reality in the Illinois Room

Did you know that we sometimes have activities in the Illinois Room?!

Today is opening day for The Journey Back at the Quincy Public Library. The Journey Back is a virtual reality experience/exhibit that has been created by the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center in Skokie, Illinois & they have kindly loaned the equipment for just over two weeks.

The event started at 9 AM August 9th & will close at 3 PM on August 24th. Hours of operation on this will be 9 AM to roughly 30 minutes before closing, plus an hour off to ensure library has staff has time to keep up with basic care of the equipment & to have lunch.

Registration is required for this event - both to help the library keep track of attendance for this event & to help us protect the equipment, as it is on loan to us. To register, email the reference department at reference@quincylibrary.org to let them know that you are interested in attending, the day & time you would like to be there, & with the number of people in your group.

Thank you to the Illinois Holocaust Museum for creating The Journey Back & for allowing the Quincy Public Library to borrow it.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there & learning something new!!
