Call 708-755-5040 to reserve your family’s time slot!

Do I have to register each of my children separately?

Nope! You can register for one time as a whole family.

Where will the Easter Bunny be?

The Easter Bunny will be in the meeting room.

What will our visit be like?

When it’s time for your special appointment, you can check in at the desk, and the Easter Bunny and their librarian friend will call your family’s name when the Easter Bunny is ready. You’ll have a few minutes alone with the Easter Bunny to take pictures and get your gift books and goodie bag. We’ll print out a nice picture for you, and you can take some pictures of your own, too.

Why do I have to register?

Even before COVID, our Easter Bunny events would get a little too crowded to be comfortable. No one likes standing in line, especially not families with small children! When we began requiring registration and having timed tickets a few years ago, it became a much more enjoyable experience for families and staff. There’s no standing in line, no crowds — just a fun family outing!

We are launching a new project at SouthlandStory.org where we are collecting oral histories from our area.

If you would like to be recorded telling a 3-4 minute story from your life, please reach out to Jess at jess@sschlibrary.org, call the library at 708-755-5040, or visit southlandstory.org.

We are particularly interested in collecting the stories of our local elders, so please pass this information along to older friends and family whose stories you would like to preserve.

Stories can be told in English or Spanish.

We will be holding an informational session soon. If you would like to be involved in the early stages, please contact us.

The annual Holiday Basket Raffle will be held on Friday, December 10th.
You do not need to be present to win.
Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5 and are available at the library.

Our first-ever dinosaur egg hunt is coming up soon! Call us to register for your child’s spot.

Your child (or your family, if you have multiple children) can sign up for their own 20 minute window where they will hunt for a set of 5 dinosaur eggs (made of baking soda) that are hidden in the youth wing. At the end of your 20 minutes, take your eggs and a goodie bag home where you can have fizzy fun hatching your eggs!

Your goodie bag will include:

• small cups of dish soap and vinegar with instructions for how to make your fizzy eggs hatch
• construction paper and glue and instructions to make your own fun dinosaur hat
• a free book

Spots are limited so please call 708-755-5040 to register! Registration ends November 1st so we have time to prepare the eggs.

COVID protocols in place: Your family will have their own 20 minute session and masks are required for all visitors over the age of 2 per local mandates. Please do not arrive too early so we can avoid crowding. Thank you for helping us provide a safe program for little ones.
