Join an ancient tradition of celebrating the return of the Sun! Roll and light your own beeswax candle.
While supplies last, pick up your free beeswax candle kit at the Main Library or at the Robert Crown Branch Library. Click here to see current library hours.
Vulnerable patrons may request kit pickup from the Main Library's back parking lot by phoning the Early Literacy & Learning Department at 847.448.8610 upon their arrival. Or, pick up kits from Crown's information table during Branch opening hours.
To complete your project, you'll need a heat source such as a hair dryer. You'll also need a base for your candle such as a candlestick holder - or for an Earth-friendly option, you can use a clean, dry, metal lid from a screw-top jar.
