Klub K'nex

A new club is starting at the library.  On the third Saturday of each month from 12:00 - 1:00pm, kids from 5 to 15 years old can come and build anything they choose using K'nex construction toys. We have several sets that will allow kids to build whatever their imagination invents.  Please call to 815-496-2031 to register or for more information.

Preschool Playgroup

Start the week off with a bang by bringing your preschool children to the library on Monday morning.  Pre-school Playgroup will meet at 10:30 AM.   There is something for everyone.  Children enjoy stories, crafts, songs, games and exploring our kids' room.  Adults enjoy some quality visiting time.  Don't miss out---join us!
