Youth Services

Dolton Kids Read

As a quick reminder to all parents and caregivers, we encourage you to visit the library throughout the school year.  This will help your children develop the habit of using the library as you do, and will acquaint you with the many programs that can help and encourage your children in their academic and social pursuits.  Our library is a community asset, a place for quiet study and pleasant entertainment, and not the social playground it has become for some children and teenagers as of late.  We greatly appreciate your cooperation and welcome your support and volunteerism.  Happy Holidays and we hope you will find comfort, joy, and most of all, peace!

Winter Reading Program

Just a reminder to those who were a part of the The Summer Reading Program, the reading program is ongoing and you can still continue to turn in your book logs to claim your prizes from the coveted prize palace.  Keep an eye on the prize palace as we add even more prizes!  We understand that the demands of the school year will take center stage in your busy schedule, but we would like you all to continue to participate.  For old and new members to the program, we would like for you to read ten books and attend five programs.  The Youth Services Department would also like to offer a surprise gift for the member that invites the most new members to join the Winter Reading Program.  For more information, please come into the library and ask to speak to a Youth Services representative, or contact the Youth Services Department at (708) 849-2385.

What Else Is Scheduled This Winter?

Some of your favorite Youth Service Programs have returned and we hope you can come join us for lots of fun.  Make time to visit the Dolton Public Library before winter ends.  For further details about programs and other offerings, please check out our Calendar of Events.
