Main Library

The Hive in Children's Services

From Log Cabin to White House spend an hour designing and creating structures inspired by the buildings where Abraham Lincoln lived and worked.

During this program attendees will use Keva Planks and engineering skills to create structures inspired by Abraham Lincoln's life. Instructions will be provided for those who want to build from a template but free-building is highly encouraged.

This program is part of the One County, One Book community-wide reading initiative encouraging the community to read and engage with a single book! This year's One County, One Book selection is "Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America" by journalist and NPR host Steve Inskeep. 

This initiative aims to unite people of all ages and backgrounds through programs, book clubs, and a community discussion with the author himself. Click Here to learn more. 

Space is limited: Register in advance to reserve your spot and receive reminders. Registration will guarantee your seat until the event begins.

Accessibility needs? Please contact ask@acpl.info as soon as possible - we’d love to help.
