Kids’ Virtual Art Show

The Elmhurst Public Library is excited to kick off the Spring Kids’ Virtual Art Show. We want to provide our grade school students with a creative outlet where they can showcase their talents and share them with the community. We celebrate students and their work with this quote by author A. A. Milne: “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” Want to be part of the gallery? See information at the bottom of this page.
