Makerspace for Kids
Join us each month for a different project where we stretch our imaginations and get creative. For “tweens” – ages 10-14. We have different activities each month. Check out our photo galleries from previous events!
Tweens used Sharpies to create pictures, unique mugs, buttons and more. Enjoy the photos! Project Tween is a monthly program geared for youth between 10-14 years old at the Huntley Area Public Library.

Project Tweeners made a variety of festive holiday crafts this past December!
When amazing art is being done, you need to showcase it…so we had an art show! Kids were asked to bring in 1-2 items they made at Project Tween to share with library visitors. If you are a tween and you haven’t been coming to this event, check out the photos to see what you have been missing!
