Gold Fever at the Library

Learn about gold and how to find it.
Try panning for gold, go on a pretend gold rush, and search for "gold" in the library.
We'll also make a "gold" refrigerator magnet and play winter bingo.

This event is part of the Sauk Valley Big Read grant which celebrates Jack London's book,
"The Call of the Wild."

Family Nights are sponsored by the Golden Kiwanis and
the Dixon Wal-Mart.
