Book Party: 13th Street (Grades K-5- VIRTUAL)

Pick Up Kit at Main Library between Oct. 16-Oct. 22

We're having a book party & you're invited! Join Ms. Carrie to explore the series "13th Street", read about bad-breath bats (STINKY!), and make a polymer clay bat. Registration required.

***NOTE:  Please register separately for each child planning to attend this program.***

Bad-Breath Bats are on the attack. Join Ms. Carrie on Zoom to explore the first book in the 13th Street series by David Bowles.  We'll read a selection from this book and make a polymer clay bat (minus the bad breath) of our own. 

(He will have a black pupil- sorry for the bad picture!)  :)

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, Oct. 16th through Sunday, Oct. 22nd.  All registered participants will receive an email with the zoom login prior to the program date.
