Youth Services

Dolton Kids Read

As a quick reminder to all parents and caregivers, we encourage you to visit the library.  This will help orient your children to continued use of the library and the many programs that we offer, which may help and encourage your children in their academic and social pursuits.  The library is meant to be a community asset, and a place for quiet study and pleasant entertainment.  We greatly appreciate your cooperation and welcome your support and volunteerism.  We wish that as you move into the Summer season, you will find comfort, joy, and most of all, Peace!

Register to be a part of our 2010 Summer Reading Program, "Scare Up a Good Book!," which is this year's Illinois Library Association theme.  Sign up and you may win a fabulous prize.  Click here for more details.

What Else Is Scheduled This Summer?

Some of your favorite Youth Service Programs have returned and we hope you can come join us for lots of fun.  Scare Up a Good Book at the Movies, Scare Up a Good Book:  Library Scavenger Hunt, Camp Story Time/Craft Time, and Toddler Time will continue.  The Tween-U-Teens Book Club, and the highly popular, Now We're Grilling programs are also back.  Danny Wilbon returns once again to show off his mad DJ-ing skills and teach you how you can turn a hobby into a possible music career.  Pillars of the Dolton community show their library support and will return this Summer for our Black Men & Women Read Aloud programs.  All this and much more is scheduled!
