This program is for ages 10-18 years old. Please feel free to bring an adult along with you to join in the fun. Please email the Youth Services team at png@chicagoridgelibrary.org for more information.
If you would like to be a mentor to our youth, please ask for more information at the Youth Services desk. Our previous grants have earned exemplary status, meaning that our library is serving as a model for other libraries in the state of Illinois.
