Thanksgiving is a great time to take a few moments to think about all the things you are grateful for. Here at the New Lenox Library, we are thankful for all of the families that come to the library.

We hope you enjoy these Thanksgiving themed drawing videos! If you draw something you’d like to display at the library, please bring it to the Youth Services desk. We would love to hang up your artwork!
