On Wednesday during Vetch Days, Elgin Public Library hosted a Puzzle Contest for Junior High and High School students. Unfortunately, we had only one team sign up. That was not going to stop us from having the contest. So we decided we would ask two of the winners from last year’s adult contest to compete against the Junior High team. They agreed, so we had the Battle of the Ages. It was a close competition and the Junior High team won the contest by about 3 minutes.

On March 2, 2024 12 kids helped the library celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss. They enjoyed the following Dr. Seuss books: Green Eggs and Ham, Daisy Head Mayzie and I’m Not going to Get Up Today. Along with the books the children played a variety of games and did a craft to honor Daisy Head Mayzie! A birthday party wouldn’t be complete without birthday cupcakes and of course singing happy birthday to Dr. Seuss.

The theme for December Lego League was “Christmas Parade”. The kids were asked to create a float for the Christmas Lego parade. The floats will be on display through New Years and we are asking all visitors to the library to cast a vote for their favorite float. Below are the pictures of the floats that were created.

Mrs. Claus will be visiting Elgin Public Library on December 10, 2022 to read to the children.  Storytime will begin at 2:00 P.M. Everyone is invited to attend.

On Wednesday, October 12, and Thursday, October 13, Elgin Public Library held an Open House for elementary classes from St. Boniface and Elgin Public Elementary schools. Students in grades Kindergarten through 5th, along with their teachers, visited the library to hear about and look at the new books as well as the makerspace items the library has available for the children. Kim Young assisted with the open house. We look forward to having the students visit the library and check out some of our new books and play with the makerspace items.
