This event has passed.

Toys left out all the time, an unstaffed art room, splatter painting indoors, a sand table out on the floor for an entire month...and much more. These things really happen in the Youth & Family Services department at the Kenosha Public Library! Learn how making a mess can benefit your patrons, why to embrace it, and how others have managed it. You will also get a ton of fun programming ideas that range from slightly untidy to totally catastrophic!
