Book Party: The Haunted Library (Grades K-5- VIRTUAL)

Pick Up Kit at Main Library between Sept 19-Sept 25

We're having a book party & you're invited! Claire lives above the library & she has a special ability- SEEING GHOSTS! The adventure starts when she meets a ghost named Kaz. Registration required.

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

When Kaz's ghost family has to find a new place to haunt, he picks the town library.  Little does he know that Claire, who lives above the library, can SEE GHOSTS!  Let's read about this friendship and make a ghostly pompom popper and a spinning ghost. You'll also create a "Ghost Sighting Report" and get a mini Haunted Library Memory Game. 

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 19th through Sunday, September 25th.  All registered participants will receive an email with the zoom login prior to the program date.  

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 you arrive at the library.
