Diamond painting is the latest trend in arts and crafts. Combining the concepts of mosaic art and paint-by-numbers, diamond painting uses tiny round rhinestones on adhesive to create a glittering, multi-dimensional picture. We'll be making diamond paintings of some of our favorite superheroes and video game characters. All supplies will be provided. Registration required. For teens in grades 7-12.
The 1501 Ellinwood Street library building is the realization of a longheld dream of the library board, staff and community partners. Located in the heart of downtown Des Plaines, the four story, 82,000 square foot building represents the community's commitment to reading, lifelong learning, and a center for family activities. A grand central staircase and large windows provide a wealth of natural light and illuminate the building at night.
