Book Party: Isla of Adventure (Grades K-5- VIRTUAL)

Pick Up Kit at Main Library between June 12-June 18

We're having a book party & you're invited! Meet Isla, who lives on the island of Sol-& can speak to animals! We'll read a section of the book & make a pompom gecko buddy. Registration required.

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

Summer is the perfect time for an island adventure. You'll meet Isla Verde and her friend Fitz the Gecko when we travel to the island of Sol in this tropical new book. When Isla gets a new neighbor, she is excited for a new friend but worried about hiding her secret- she can talk to animals.  Join us to read a section of this book and make a pompom gecko like Isla's buddy, Fritz.  

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, June 12th through Sunday, June 18th.  All registered participants will receive an email with the zoom login prior to the program date.
