Children's Events

Come create with us! Each week we’ll offer a collection of themed craft projects. Masks are required and physical distancing will be observed. Reservation is required; call (309) 343-6118 to sign up for your one-hour reserved crafting table!  Prefer an at-home option? Call us to request this week’s Family Art Take Home Craft.

Come visit our Storywalk in downtown Standish Park. Pick up a craft or activity in the Standish Park Gazebo, then walk the Storywalk! We’ll feature a new story in the Storywalk each session. No registration required. Masks required to enter the gazebo; please observe physical distancing while enjoying the storywalk.

Join us for storytime outside in the Storybook Garden, geared toward kids aged 5 and under and their families. For everyone’s safety, we’ll be wearing masks (everyone aged 3 and up) and observing physical distancing; please bring a blanket or chairs to set up your spot.  No registration required. Storytime will not be held in the event of inclement weather.

Tune into the library’s Facebook page for storytime fun you can enjoy from home.
