Smart911 is a free service that allows citizens across the U.S. to create a Safety Profile for their household that can
provide information to 9-1-1 and public safety officials during an emergency. Smart911 is available within the City limits
of Bensenville and throughout the remainder of DuPage County. Register at www.smart911.com
How Does Smart911 Work?
Smart911 allows citizens to provide the additional details that 9-1-1 call takers may need in order to assist them during
an emergency. When you dial 9-1-1 today the information received by the 9-1-1 call center can be limited
based on the type of phone you are calling on. With Smart911, anytime
you make an emergency call from a phone registered with your Safety
Profile, the 9-1-1 systems recognizes your phone number and automatically displays your profile on the screen of the call taker who receives
your call.
At a time when you may be panicked, or unable to communicate, or it
could be unsafe to communicate, Smart911 ensures that the details you
would need to tell 9-1-1 are immediately available in the event you cannot verbally provide them. Smart911 is free, private and secure.

BENSENVILLE READS
Coming September 2015
Join us on Wednesday, September

Bensenville Reads! Each year the
Library selects a book to promote
reading in the community, and
invites the author to a Bensenville
Reads celebration. This year we
welcome author Cristina Henríquez
as she discusses her book The Book
of Unknown Americans. We chose
to have this year’s Bensenville Reads
in September to celebrate Hispanic
Heritage Month. You can pick up a
FREE copy of The Book of Unknown
Americans starting in July (limited
number of copies available). Copies
of the book are also available for
check out at the Library!
Cristina Henríquez’s powerful novel
captures readers with the quiet
beauty of her characters and their
profoundly wrought experiences as
immigrants in America. The story
takes place in a run-down apartment building in Delaware, home
to nine families who arrived in
the States from various South and
Central American countries, each
looking to better the lives of the next
generation. In alternating chapters,
these men and women share stories
of how their adopted country has
left its mark on them, for better and
worse. With her cast of “unknown
Americans,” Henriquez has crafted a
novel that is inspiring, tragic, brave,
and above all, unforgettable.

AT BRIDGEWAY
Bridgeway residents and Mrs. Opielowski 5th grade students met one
last time this year for refreshments and presentations. Approximately
17 residents who participated this year in the Reading Buddies program
from Bridgeway had to say good bye to students who will no longer be
in the program. This program was originally started by a fellow teacher,
but Mrs. Opielowski has continued the program going on their 9th year. The residents at Bridgeway absolutely love
the kids, they love sharing memories, pictures, and conversations and most importantly, they love reading. We want
to thank Embassy/Double Tree Hotel for providing refreshments for this event.
