January-February 2013 Youth Programs

2012 is quickly coming to an end and now is the perfect time to make a resolution to take advantage of all the awesome resources offered at the Oak Brook Public Library for 2013!

We have some wonderful and exciting new programs being offered, along with storytimes for children ages 2 - 8 years old. Stop by the Youth Services desk (or call in!) to register.
 

Here is our current brochure for Youth Services Programming in January and February 2013. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events! Click on any of the photographs to enlarge them for easier reading.

 

Mr. E.'s Reading Is So Delicious!

Children and adults were entranced by the delightful and side-splitting hilarity of the one-and-only Mr. E during his show, Reading is So Delicious with Mr. E., tonight at the library.

Through the use of magic and puppetry, Mr. E. held the attention of even our youngest patrons by using his masterful storytelling ability and creative props, such as a colorful goldfish scarf.

Mr. E.'s show was very interactive and allowed the children to become part of the madcap action! I especially enjoyed the idea of entwining popular children's literature into his show.

As you will see in the photos below Mr. E.'s show definitely proves that Reading is So Delicious!

The Youth Services Department would also like to thank the Friends of the Library for helping make this program possible.
