Adventure @ Your Library is DeKalb Public Library’s own tabletop role-playing group for teens. Join us for a themed one-shot just for the month of October! You and your companions will have to escape the Greek underworld in this special session, going against obstacles like the three-headed guard dog Cerberus, the Stygian boatman Charon, and crossing the perilous rivers that run through Hades’ realm…

This session is geared for players already familiar with Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. If you are inexperienced, try our “Tutorial Levels” program.

This program is intended for youth ages 12-17. To attend this program, you must be registered ahead of time, as space is limited.

To register contact Pen at [email protected] or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 2113.

Hey Tweens! Join us for a discussion of the month’s book selection, Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier to start “spooky month.” A small snack will be provided.

This book club is intended for students in grades 3-7. No registration is required.

Any questions can be directed to Jen at [email protected] or call youth department at (815) 756-9568 ext. 3350.

We are excited to be offering preschool story times at the library! Aimed especially at our 3-5 year old friends, these story times feature books, songs, and activities especially to help those growing preschool brains! Reading, singing, talking, and counting are great literacy and math activities that will help prepare kids for Kindergarten.

Tuesday preschool story times at 10:30 a.m. are offered at the same time as our Book Babies program. Feel free to drop off your preschool child at the Preschool story time and attend Book Babies right next door with your younger one(s).

For more information, please contact John at [email protected] or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 3350.

Books are for everyone, even our littlest library patrons! Our Book Babies program is aimed at children age 0-18 months, although older children are welcome to attend. We will sing lots of simple and interactive songs, do finger plays and rhymes, practice sign language, and read an easy book. All of these activities are great for babies’ developing brains. We hope this program gives you lots of fun ways to play with your baby during the program and at home!
