Naperville library holds Hugo Cabret party

It's a great book and a great movie. Now the Naperville Public Library is holding a great celebration of the world of Hugo Cabret.

Kids in grades three to six are invited to “Explore the World of Hugo Cabret” party Saturday, Dec. 10. The parties are from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Naper Boulevard Library, 2035 S. Naper Blvd., and at the 95th Street Library, 3015 Cedar Glade Drive.

“Hugo” party coordinator Carla Eisley, children's services staff member at Naper Boulevard Library, assures students, “Even if you've never heard of Hugo, join in our party and meet him. No need to register, just come.”

Party participants will “create two crafts based on the book, play automaton games, sketch a portrait and build a mousetrap,” Eisley said.

Participants also will have a chance to win a gift certificate to the movies. The prizes are funded from library gifts and donations.
