Monthly Card-Making Events in Illinois


When Jen Rubino founded Cards for Hospitalized Kids in 2011, the Des Plaines Public Library immediately wanted to help.

The Des Plaines Library has been hosting card-making events for us since fall of 2011. Other libraries in Illinois have started hosting these events, as well. 

Attending a card making event is a great way to have fun and make a difference. Attendees are not required to stay the entire event. Service hours can be earned for attending an event. 

Many libraries throughout Illinois now also host regular card-making events. These include: 
Ever Green Park Public Library, Niles Public Library, Lake Forest Library, Chicago Public Library, La Grange Public Library, Prospect Heights Public Library District, Glenview Public Library, and others. Please check with your local library for the dates of upcoming events.
