Week Calendar

Youth Services staff will be reading and sharing literacy activities with the RIMSD Head Start and Preschool for All classes.

Do you love the smell of popcorn and the thrill of watching movies with others? Join in on the fun and come to our Downtown Movie Club!

Looking for volunteer hours? Join us for Teen Advisory Group, and learn about volunteering at the library. At TAG, you will:

A Library of Things tutorial! Demonstration of our Cricut Heat Press, which can be checked out with an Illinois library card. Bring a t-shirt or other small fabric item to personalize, and we'll show you how it's done! 

In May 2023 the U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory about the effects of social media on youth mental health.

More details and registration opportunity to come!

Join us for a night of fun at the Watts-Midtown Branch! We're taking advantage of our extended hours (thanks Bucktown!) to offer a free evening of snacks and entertainment for teens. Join us for retro gaming and pizza in the Teen Space.
