Free Earth Day Activities and Spring Craft

To celebrate spring and Earth Day, here's a spring butterfly craft using recycled magazine pictures. What is Earth Day? Earth Day is a day dedicated to protecting our planet from pollution through reusing and recycling every day items.

Speaking of Earth Day, the library will be joining with Irons Oaks for their FREE Earth Day celebration at Irons Oaks on April 21 from 11:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. for some springtime fun. There will be entertainers--Ricky Recycle, Anna Stange, David Stokes, and library staff, too! There will be awesome crafts--recycled shoe planters, recycled musical instruments, earth bracelets, and rain barrel painting and raffle. Don't miss the exhibits and Rocky the Racoon. But wait! There will be a Trash Creature contest by the children of the school districts in Homewood, Flossmoor, and Olympia Fields. Winners of the contest will have their Trash Creature displayed at the Homewood Library for a week in the lobby. Too cool! The flyer also says you can climb the Tower at Irons Oaks for free, too! So much fun!
Hope to see you there!
