Family Book Club: Fall is a HOOT!

Pick up kit from Main Library from Sept 20-Sept 30

Download the Fall Family Book Club activity guide from our website OR pick up your kit/guide to enjoy fun fall books and activities with your family at home. Registration required for the kit.

**NOTE:  Kits contain supplies for 1 of each craft.  If you have multiple children in your family, please register each child separately.**

Did you know that fall is also called "The Hooting Season?" Leafy fall days are more fun when you share books and activities with your family!  (Note:  This is NOT a Zoom meeting event.) We've prepared a Book Party Plan (click link) suggesting some fun fall and owl books to share along with related activities and crafts that you can do while enjoying fall's beautiful colors. 

This program has supplies to be picked up at the KidSpace Youth Reference Desk at the Main Library (270 N. Grove Ave, Elgin). Program supplies will be ready for pick up between Monday, September 20 through Thursday, September 30th.  The kit will include some of the materials for the suggested craft projects.  You will need to secure the ingredients for the snack ideas as well as some basic crafting items listed below.  Best for families with children in K-5th grade.  

If you would like to pick up the supplies at the Main Library Drive Up Window instead of inside the library at the youth desk, please call the youth desk at 847-429-4685 before arriving at the library.
