Book Party: Leave It To Plum! (Grades K-5- VIRTUAL)

Pick Up Kit at Main Library between Nov 21-Nov 27

We're having a book party & you're invited! Meet Plum, a sassy peacock at the Athensville Zoo, who is also a detective. Join us to read parts of the book & make a peacock fan. Registration required.

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

When the Athensville Zoo peacocks are accused of stealing from the zoo visitors, Plum wants to solve the case and allow his peacock friends to roam the zoo freely again.  But Itch, a Ningbing, doesn't want that to happen at all.  Join us to explore this fun book by Matt Phelan and make a peacock fan. 

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, November 21st through Sunday, November 27th.  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.
