Program Description

Event Details

Get Creative with your family history!

As family historians we are the keepers of memories and mementos of treasured events, people, & places. Have you ever wanted to display some of your favorites? If so, join us for an afternoon of creativity and fun and put your Memories in a Jar! The theme of the jar is up to you! Gather photos, trinkets, and your choice of a jar filler and get ready to create! 

What about creating a jar focused on a holiday memory, childhood fun, a family vacation, grandma’s recipe, a collection of small items, a day at the beach, or perhaps a tribute to a loved one? Get creative!

One important note: if you will be using a photo, especially an old and fragile one, please make a copy of it rather than using the original.

Mokena Community Public Library District Card Holder - Priority Registration

Priority registration is available exclusively to Mokena library cardholders 72 hours before the scheduled program ensuring that Mokena library cardholders receive the first opportunity to explore and participate in our limited room programs. This is a new procedure for our high demand programs. Non-Mokena Community Public Library District Holders will be placed on a pending wait list until 72 hours prior to the program. If there are openings at that time the wait list will be transferred to the registered list in the order they were added to the wait list.

Program Attendance Policy

Please arrive on time for the program. If you are unable to attend the program, please cancel at least 24 hours before the program begins, by emailing programs@mokena.lib.il.us or calling the Mokena Library at 708-479-9663 and canceling with a librarian. You can also cancel through our Events calendar. After 3 times of being marked absent without cancellation, we will be moving future registrations to the waitlist. This is to accommodate as many patrons as possible due to limited space and popularity of our programs.
