Program Description
Event Details
Join us for an Intergenerational Family History Workshop
Celebrate Family History Day 2025 by introducing your young(er) family member to their family history! In this 2-hour program, each 2-person group will create a personalized Family History Scrapbook and Family Tree.
This program is designed so that an older adult can teach a younger family member about their history. While the youngest attendee should be no younger than 7, there is no other age restriction. For example, two adults, such as mother and daughter or grandchild and grandfather, are welcome and encouraged to attend.
For this program you will need:
- Photocopies/prints of both attendees
- Photocopies/prints of both attendees as children or babies
- Birthdates for both attendees
- The names and birthdates of the young(er) person's parents, grandparents, & great-grandparents (if known)
- Come prepared with a story or two
This program requires at least one attendee to be a Mokena Community Public Library cardholder.
Note: You will register for yourself and the young(er) person who will be attending with you. (Maximum of 2 people per "group")
