Trib Local: Helping with Hieroglyphs

From now until July 5th, Alexander Dowd, a 12-year-old resident of Evanston, will be helping Evanston Public Library Friends (EPLF) in its efforts to save the Evanston Public Library System. Alexander, a talented, soon-to-be seventh grader at Haven Middle School, will be translating people’s names into hieroglyphs for a small fee outside of the North Branch Library, and a portion of the proceeds will be given to EPLF.

In addition, his friends will be selling lemonade, all to benefit the library that they have grown to love over the years.
