Take & Make Kit - April 2021
Drumroll please... April's Fan Club Kit for Younger Readers features Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie! Stop by Main or LaSalle to pick up a goodie bag filled with crafts, activities and more to help your child celebrate their favorite characters.

Take & Make Kit - April 2021
If they haven't already, your middle grade child will fall in love with the "New Kid" series by Jerry Craft. Have even more fun with the books by grabbing a free Fan Club Kit this month at the Main or LaSalle Library. Includes discussion questions, a fun DIY journal craft, and more. It's a book club in a bag! (The New Kid books are available at the library or as ebooks in Hoopla or Overdrive / Libby!)
