Take & Make: Creativity Kit (Adults)

Enjoy a Take & Make Creativity Kit containing adult coloring supplies, pens, idea prompts, and more!  Beginning Monday, April 18, call the Adult Services Desk 630-344-6123 or email cstream@cslibrary to have a kit put aside for you! Supplies are limited so please request one per person.

These creativity kits are our way to invite the adults in our community to welcome Telling A People’s Story, the first major museum exhibition devoted to the art found within the pages of African-American children’s picture books. The exhibition emphasizes the strength of the illustrations as visual narrative representations of the African-American experience. This project celebrates the complex and diverse African-American experience through a lens intended for children and young readers. The exhibition offers something for all viewers through the representation of familiar and lesser-known people and the contributions of African Americans to an American identity.

The exhibit will be at the Library through June 12.
