The Northern Illinois Literary Society (NILS) produces a literary anthology that is distributed to the Niles Library, the Skokie Public Library, and other northern Illinois libraries, homes for the aged and blind, veteran's hospitals, and other non-profit organizations.
Meetings are held from 7 to 9pm on the second Tuesdays of March through June and September through December. The Group meets in the Skokie Public Library's Book Discussion Room, 5215 Oakton St. and are free to the public.
The Scotland Yarders is a group devoted to Sherlock Holmes. We schedule talks on topics from anything to do with Holmes and his cases to the history of the Victorian Era to police work to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's non-Sherlockian interests to historical mysteries to places connected in any way with Holmes, the Victorian Era or crime and mysteries, etc. We do not expect members to be experts on Sherlock Holmes and his cases.
