Join us for an after hours event with local author and Chicago historian, Julia Bachrach. Sit back and enjoy a glass of wine, beer, or a non-alcoholic beverage, as well as light refreshments, while Bachrach discusses her book The City in a Garden: A History of Chicago's Parks. 
In the 1830s, Chicago's nascent government adopted the "Urbs in Horto," a Latin phrase meaning "City in a Garden." Though the city had few parks or green spaces at the time, the slogan proved to be prophetic. For more than 175 years, Chicago's citizens have rallied for parkland. Today, Chicago has some of the nation's most impressive parks and gardens. Many of these greenspaces were shaped by nationally renowned landscape designers, architects, and artists. 
More about the author: A historic preservation consultant, Bachrach previously served as Chicago Park District's historian and planning supervisor for more than 25 years. She writes extensively on parks, gardens, and other Chicago history topics. 
The talk will be followed by a Q&amp;A session with the audience.
Please note: The library will reopen at 6:00pm for this After Hours Event.
