Story time at Tekakwitha

The Tekakwitha Woods Nature Center will be filled with stories when staff from the St. Charles Public Library bring books, finger plays, songs and more for kids, infant through age 5. Children and their caregivers are welcome to join us for these fun, free events. After the program, stay and enjoy the interactive exhibits or go on a hike through the Tekakwitha Woods Forest Preserve.
