Elgin Public Library held it’s first Lego League of the new school year on October 17, 2022.  Sixty-four (64) children were in attendance to experience lots of new Lego items.  New kits were purchased with a grant from the Bargain Box and several groups of students were kept busy trying to assemble them.  Others tried out our new Lego board while the rest enjoyed free building and making their own creations.  We were very excited to see so many students and look forward to seeing them at the next Lego League in November. We also encourage them to just stop in and check out some books or play with the many other makerspace items we have recently purchased.

The books for October’s Book Club are in. You will be reading A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Stop by the library and pick up your copy.

It is time for Book Club to start again. This month’s book is here. You will be reading The Sea Keeper’s Daughters by Lisa Wingate. Stop by the library and pick up your copy.

With our theme “Oceans of Possibilities” in mind, the Elgin Public Library wrapped up it’s summer reading program with a pool party followed by lunch at the park.

We will be having one last Story time on Wednesday, July 6th. This story time will not only feature “stories” but fun and games as well as “goodie” bags for the children who have been attending story time on a regular basis. We will also be hosting a Summer Book Fair from July 6th – July 8th. The Book Fair will also be available online until July 15th.

We love having your children visit us at the library and hope they can join us on July 6th.

Highlights of the presentation included: how to use an air fryer, food safety, and air fryer pros and cons. We also explored various recipes and sampled delicious air fried foods.

A big thank you to the presenters, all the attendees, and the Community Center.
