STEAM @ Home
Several South Suburban public libraries have teamed up to offer online STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) programs for kids. Each library will provide kits with materials and instruction for a hands-on STEAM activity that takes experimental learning to the next level. For more details and to register, click here.
Snacks for Kids and Teens
Free boxed snacks are available for kids and teens ages 18 and younger via curbside pick-up at the Matteson Area Public Library from 1:00-3:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays that the library is open.
However, snacks are available on a first-come, first serve basis while supplies last. We suggest you give us a call at 708-748-4431 to double check that they are available. When you pull up to the curb, just give us a call to let us know you are here and we’ll bring them to your car.
