- **Event Name**: Community Conversation: Let The Sunshine Into Elmwood Park
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: On Saturday, March 7 at 3 p.m., the Elmwood Park Advocate will kick off a second year of monthly “Community Conversations” at the Elmwood Park Public Library.

The newsletter held six “Community Conversations” in the Ferrentino Room in 2025. 

To begin this year’s series, we invite you to join the Elmwood Park Advocate for a discussion on government transparency in Elmwood Park.

The newsletter will also educate residents on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and present some of the work that we have been doing to obtain public records.

What are some of the obstacles to uncovering information? How responsive is the library, school district, and village when it comes to records requests? 

For residents, how can open government improve your lives? 

Though it is not taking place during “Sunshine Week,” the event will be tied to the annual national event, which is aimed at educating “the public, journalists, lawmakers, and others on the right to know in U.S. states and federal government.”

We will have coffee and bakery treats. Invite your family, friends, or neighbors. 

See you on Saturday, March 7, at 3 p.m.

*NOTE: The Elmwood Park Public Library has permitted resident-led groups to use meeting spaces as a community service. The Library neither sponsors nor endorses this event, the speaker(s), or the organization.
