West Chicago, IL – The West Chicago Public Library District and Cantigny Park are joining forces for a special Veterans Day Storytime honoring the men and women who’ve served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
According to organizers, the event will take place Tuesday, November 11, from 4:30 to 5 p.m. at the First Division Museum in Cantigny, where library staff will lead a heartwarming story session for children ages 6 and under. The storytime will feature a special guest reader — a U.S. military veteran — sharing hero-inspired tales that celebrate courage and service.
Families will meet at the museum’s welcome desk before walking to the story location. If the weather is mild, the session will be held outdoors on the museum grounds. In case of cooler temperatures (below 55°F), storytime will move inside for a warm, cozy experience.
The event aims to foster appreciation for veterans while engaging the community’s youngest readers in an interactive setting surrounded by history.
Parking can be reserved in advance through Cantigny’s website: https://bit.ly/43brJEs.
