Spring Break at Home

The seasons are changing and the count down to Spring Break is on. And the best part, you don't even have to travel to have fun! Check out our curated at-home activities that are great for all ages.  

Make a Shero 

Through assemblage art, create your own shero to celebrate Women's History Month. This simple three-dimensional project just requires some string, objects that you find on your daily walk or around your house, and some glue.  

Study Clouds


As the days get longer, we get more time to be outside! Take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather by creating your own cloud identification chart.

Recycle Your Egg Carton

Turn your empty egg cartons into cute birds! Take an old egg carton, some paint, and feathers, and you've got a new piece of art to show off to your friends and family!

You can also use your library card to get free or discounted admission to many Illinois museums and attractions.
