Kankakee, IL – Teens looking for a creative and relaxing after-school activity have a chance to get cozy this December as the Kankakee Public Library hosts its Cozy Crochet Club, a hands-on program designed just for ages 13 to 17.
According to the Kankakee Public Library, the Cozy Crochet Club meets on Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m., with upcoming sessions held December 23, 2025 (Tuesday), inside the Roland B. Johnson Teen Zone at the library’s Merchant Street location.
The program invites teens of all skill levels to learn how to crochet or work on fun winter-themed projects in a low-pressure, social environment. No prior experience is required, and library staff will guide participants step by step as they learn together.
Organizers say the club is a great opportunity for teens to unwind, make new friends, and create handmade crochet “buddies” or gifts just in time for the holiday season. Finished projects can be kept for personal use or given to someone special.
Space is limited, with only 10 spots available per session, and advance registration is required. Parents or guardians can reserve a spot by calling 815-937-6960.
The Cozy Crochet Club is part of the library’s ongoing teen services programming, which focuses on creativity, community connection, and skill-building in a welcoming space.
The Kankakee Public Library is located at 201 E. Merchant Street, serving residents throughout Kankakee County and the greater Kankakee-area region.
