How do we foster a respectful approach to talking to kids about politics? How do we help our kids become active, caring community members? Wilmette Public Library, in collaboration with D39 PTAs/PTOs and the League of Women Voters Wilmette, invites parents and caregivers to connect through this interactive discussion on civic engagement. Learn how local systems work, and how you and your family can make a difference in your community.
Panelists include Village Board President Senta Plunkett, Library Board Secretary Maria Di Lorenzo, League of Women Voters Wilmette president Kirsten Stadheim, and civics teacher Michael Pond.
Children 4 and older can enjoy a civics themed storytime and craft in the Youth Program Room while adults attend the program. Teens and tweens are welcome to join the discussion.
