Calendar

Ghosts of Galesburg is an annual walking tour event presented by the Galesburg Public Library and the Galesburg Historical Society. Every year around Halloween, certain “ghosts” from Galesburg’s past return to their old stomping grounds to speak about their lives. This year, the tour will be going virtual! Check our Facebook page for more information.

Want to learn how to spot good and bad information? Want to be able to spot bogus info, misinformation, and propaganda so you aren’t fooled, or so you can point it out and look smart to friends and family? Join us online using Zoom for a presentation about learning media literacy using the SIFT method. You’ll need a free Zoom account and internet connection. The link to the Zoom meeting will be sent to registered participants via email the day before the meeting.

Open to kids and teens ages 10-14 or in grades 5-8. Please sign up by calling 343-6118 or emailing reference@galesburglibrary.org.

Join Miss Melinda & Miss Hillary on the library’s Facebook page for stories, songs, rhymes, movement, and more. Virtual storytime can be enjoyed by kids of all ages, but is designed with toddlers and preschoolers in mind.

Paint a spooky tree! We’ll provide brushes, tempera paint, and paper in a kit that can be picked up at the library in advance. Then you’ll watch a video from home that demonstrates how to create the painting. Please let us know if more than one person will be painting. Supplies are limited. (And if we run out, you are still welcome to watch the video and use your own supplies!)

Request a paint kit by calling 309-343-6118 and choosing #6 or by emailing reference@galesburglibrary.org. Kits will be available for curbside pickup starting October 26.
Thank you to Blick for donating the supplies.
