Families of 1st-5th graders shared ideas, then worked together to create their own artbot. We watched as each doodled and drew on its own. See for yourself!

It was all about the American Girl Dolls as we got dressed up, made crafts and even had a parade. Each girl made a sleeping bag for their doll…and we needed a nap after all this fun!

What can make a child smile? LEGOS! Our monthly clubbers designed some cool creations for the winter. You are sure to smile too!

Bow-wow! Families took turns reading to Dixie and Casey this month at our Read to a Dog program.

When is it snowing inside? When our Young Artists are painting a snowy scene! These kids enjoyed the story, The Snowy Day and then made their craft with Miss Anne.

We were all about monsters at this month’s Pajamarama as we read, “If You’re a Monster and You Know It” and “Monsters Love Colors”. We learned monsters aren’t real and they can be as silly as us!

Families celebrated the holiday season at our annual Open House. Everyone enjoyed activities, pictures with Santa, prizes and musical entertainment. Ho, ho, ho!!

This month 3-5th graders painted a colorful background, then a silhouette of a tree and each one is different. Take a look!

In collaboration with School District 158’s Parent-Tot program, the library was excited to bring Jim Gill to the Huntley area. Over 500 fans danced, sang and enjoyed his music at Chesak Elementary.
