Program Description
Event Details
Join us for our new "My First Book Club" for children grades Kindergarten - 2nd. Each month we will read a different book from the Monarch Award list. We will read this month's picture book all together at the start of the program. We will then answer questions and discuss the book as a group. We will have a craft and/or activity to do that goes along with the theme of the story we read together. We will have time for a special snack as well.
Registration is required.
Limit: 15 children
Ages: Kindergarten - 2nd grade.
Please register each child's name only.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Mokena Library at 708-479-9663, or email our Youth Services Librarians at youthservices@mokenalibrary.org.
Calling all little explorers! Join us for a magical summer edition of My First Book Club at Hickory Creek Preserve! We’ll read the story at the pavilion, nibble on a yummy trail mix snack, and take a tiny trek through the trails to see what nature has in store. Before you head off on your next adventure, we’ll send you home with a crafty surprise to keep the fun going!
Meet us at the far parking lot under the pavilion to get checked in the day of the program. If you have any questions, please email our Youth Services Librarians at youthservices@mokenalibrary.org.

Attendance Policy for Children's Programs
We highly recommend registering with an email address. This is the only way you will get a confirmation email, be able to cancel and receive any updates, including cancellation of the program. Please arrive on time for the program. If you are unable to attend the program, please cancel at least 2 hours before the program begins, by emailing youthservices@mokenalibrary.org or calling the Mokena Library at 708-479-9663 and canceling with a librarian. You can also cancel through your confirmation email. After 3 times of being marked absent without cancellation notice, we will be moving future registrations to the waitlist for two weeks. This is to accommodate as many patrons as possible due to limited space and popularity of our programs.
Snacks Provided during Children's Programs
We will provide each child with a snack and drink during this fun after school program. If your child has any food allergies, please provide that information into the text box while registering for the program. We want to accommodate everyone and will have a healthy alternative snack for them.
