Stained Glass part 2 was a success! This week, the goal was to add color in between the window's black outlines to really complete their stained glass look. So many wonderful, colorful windows were completed last night!

Check some out for yourselves! More pics available on Facebook and Instagram.

Drums, dancing, and limbo fun! 🥁🎉 What a joyful Monday we had this week with Kidsworks Theatre, and a big thanks to our friends at the Bensenville Arts Council for sponsoring this amazing event!

Charmaine, our inflatable swan, was sent to us when we joined the SWAN consortium in 2018. For 8 years, she faithfully watched over the back office with her duck babies. Today, her head officially plopped over, signaling a well earned retirement.

Thank you for your service, Charmaine 💖🦢

Hello, December! Time to panic about holiday shopping… or sit back and read books.

Last week's Saturday Storytime with District 2 was a success! Thank you to all who attended 😊

Last week’s Thankful Tree craft was a sweet reminder of the moments that matter, as families filled each leaf with their own special notes.

We're grateful for the moments that bring the community together. We wish everyone a warm and safe Thanksgiving! 🍁
