Upcoming Events

Free Comic Book Day is on May the Fourth this year! Pick up your free comic book and stay for fandom fun with crafts, photo ops and activity stations.

Join us at Downtown Crystal Lake's Garden Party! We will be sharing spring stories near the gazebo.

Grab your free comic and come down to the Ames Room in your Star Wars pajamas for a showing of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. We'll have themed snacks available for a light breakfast!  

Kal Penn (kalpenn.com) is an actor, writer, producer, and former Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.

Calling all crafters! Pack up your current projects and head over to the library for a casual program where you can socialize with other makers while you work. Registration encouraged.

Have you ever wanted to learn to meditate but didn't know where to start? Come join Megan as she guides you through some basic meditation and mindful breathing techniques. All levels welcome.

The weather is warming up and it's time to start planting! Join us for a relaxing paint session on a new, clay flower pot. Then, fill it with soil and pick a seed from our upcoming Seed Library to take home and grow!

Create your own custom t-shirt by spraying bleach over stencils on dark fabric! Bring a shirt of your own or use one of ours (sizes and quantity limited). Bleach, stencils, gloves and masks will be provided by the library. Dress for a mess!

Relax and color your stress away! We'll provide the supplies or feel free to bring your own. Registration encouraged.

Still undecided or want to change careers? Join us at the Crystal Lake Public library to learn from McHenry County College staff about career exploration and resources.
