We're having a book party & you're invited! Meet Odder- a curious, storytelling otter. When she faces off with a shark, her life changes in a big way. We'll read from the book & make an otter craft.
***NOTE: Please register separately for each child planning to attend this program.***
Please note new time: 4- 4:45 PM!
We'll explore parts of the newest book, Odder, by Katherine Applegate, learn about REAL otters, and make an otter craft in this virtual program.
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, January 23rd through Sunday, January 29th. 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 at least ONE HOUR before arriving at the library.
