Are you looking for a relaxing way to practice speaking English? Come to English Conversation Club! Sip hot chocolate and have fun using English in a low-pressure environment.

This group is open to speakers of all languages, and at all levels of English proficiency. It is intended for teens and adults, though children are welcome to attend with a parent or guardian.

For more information, please contact Chelsea at chelsear@dkpl.org or call (815)-756-9568 ext. 1700.

What kind of game is 1000 Blank White Cards? Any game you want it to be! Instead of starting with premade cards and rules, 1000 Blank White Cards starts off with just that. It is up to the players to undergo a cycle of card-making and playtesting to create and refine a card game that is fun for all.

This program is intended for adults and teens age 16+. All materials will be provided, and no registration is required.

If you have any questions, please contact Matthew at matthews@dkpl.org or call (815)756-9568 ext. 2150.
