Program Description

Event Details

In commemoration of America's 250th anniversary, the St. Charles City-County Library is offering a wide variety of presentations and programs throughout the year, highlighting local, state, and national events, time periods, and cultural moments.

Join JP Moneybags, a prominent businessman from the turn of the 20th century, as he shares his insights on the successful journey of entrepreneurs in various industries. Join us in this program to discover whether their road to success was riddled with difficulties and obstacles, and how they overcame these challenges to achieve great heights. Learn from the Success Stories of Marshall Field, William Wrigley, Charles Walgreen, Ray Kroc, and Frederick Maytag. Let them inspire you to never give up on your dreams!

This program is on tour around the district! Check the April calendar to view the full list of available dates.
