Day Calendar

Bring the excitement of mystery boxes to your children this summer! Throughout the summer we'll offer mystery book boxes that include a book to check out, an activity sheet, bookmark, a small toy or trinket, and a snack. 

We will have craft kits for tweens and teens to make their own origami animal during the month of June. A limited number of kits are available so get one while supplies last!

Brood XIII is emerging after a 17 year "sleep."  Let's celebrate their arrival!  Stop by the Info Desk on the Second Floor and pick up your blank cicada model.  From there, take it home and let your creativity run wild.

Get a look at the butterfly life cycle up close! Watch as our caterpillars spin cocoons and emerge as butterflies. The butterflies will be released after one of our storytimes in June.  We won't know for sure which date until later

Everyone can help protect our oceans and inland waterways and improve the lives of countless water-dwelling creatures!

Join us for the third annual Great Outdoors Month Hiking Challenge!  Pick up a challenge sheet at any Peoria Public Library location to help you track how many trails you trek in June.

Read with us, Peoria! Find a new book or author each month, letting our themes inspire you! Log your reading on Beanstack to enter a monthly drawing for a gift card to a local business. We will celebrate with a party at the end of the year.
