Richland County SPARK at the Library: October
This registration will open on 09/07/2026. Please come back at that time.
What ignites your child? Here is a chance to allow them to explore and create something new each month, helping them find their spark. Eight free monthly classes will be held at the Olney Public Library and led by University of Illinois Extension staff; this is the first class in the program. Students in second through eighth grade are eligible to participate. Class size is limited, so sign up today!
October Activity: Beaded Keychains.
Who doesn’t like a cool keychain? Especially one that you made yourself. These make good gifts to give or could even lead to a startup business. Learn how you can make beaded keychains by attending this spark.
4-5 p.m.
