Fall fun is coming your way!

We’ve put together a quick list of October offerings below. Simply click on each program date for all the details and, if necessary, to register.

And – don’t miss the Are You a Monster? StoryWalk® at the Mount Prospect Historical Society, 101 S. Maple St. Then stop by the Main Library for monster-themed activities, scavenger hunts, and more.

Programs are always free, and there is no library card requirement. You may notice a few of the same programs listed multiple times, since many of our programs cross age groups.
