Have a Super Spring Break
Fondulac Library has something to keep kids entertained every day during spring break! Our popular PAWS to Read event with the Peoria Humane Society is back, along with the Big Bang Bubble show from our friends at Absolute Science. Teens ages 13 to 19 have their own Teen Tuesday night with a special Super Smash Bros. Tournament complete with prizes and a gift card raffle. Even our littlest library users can enjoy story times Tuesday through Thursday.

Looking for family fun at home? Check out DVDs, or take advantage of our free streaming services. Explore our collection of board games, puzzles, and yard games. Planning a family outing? Access Explore More Illinois using your FDL card to find discounts and vouchers for numerous Illinois locations including the Abraham Lincoln Museum in Springfield, The Chicago Botanical Garden, The Peoria Park District PlayHouse Children’s Museum, and many more! With automatic renewals and no more late fines, a library card is one of the easiest, most economical ways to bring the whole family together.
