Teens learned to knit this month in a series of 3 classes covering some knitting basics: yarn and needle selection, casting on, knit stitch, adding rows, binding off. We didn’t *quite* meet our goal of completing a scarf, but participants made some good progress on their projects! Our knitting instructors included library staff and a volunteer from The Fray (the library’s adult stitchery club). Photos from one of our classes below:
Teens (and some brave adults) learned some choreography to BTS’s “Dynamite,” this March (2023) from Melanie Andersen, dance instructor (Turning Pointe Academy of Dance in Elgin). Everyone picked it up really quickly and challenged themselves at the end of class to speed things up – double time – with some hilarious results. Check out some photos from the event below!
Thank you to Culver’s of Huntley for an amazing night! Attendees enjoyed stories read by Firefighter Brad, got to take photos with with Firefighters and the Fire Truck, and enjoyed fresh hot fries provided by Culver’s.

We had our first graduation party for Little Bookworms yesterday!
A big thank you to Culver’s, the Pingree Grove Police Department, and you, Huntley Area, for a fantastic night.
Dance instructor, Melanie Andersen (from Turning Pointe Academy of Dance in Elgin) led us through some choreography to the chorus of Nayeon’s “POP!” this November, and our teen participants were up to the challenge! (Their YA Librarian counterpart will probably be practicing at 75% for the foreseeable future.) It was a fun class and we all got a good workout. Check out some photos below. We hope to do this again soon!
Thank you to Henn Reptiles for a fun and interactive show and tell of a couple of their reptiles. Patrons had a chance to hold snakes, pet Crush (African Sulcata Tortoise), and Rex (Green Iguana), and learn some more about skin shedding.
Families enjoyed our first Halloween Parade around our newly renovated building! Multiple trick or treat stations were staffed by library workers eager to see all the wonderful costumes.
It was a beautiful day outside for a Trick or Treat Around the Square! Thank you to the Village of Huntley for an amazing and fun event and to everyone who came to Trick or Treat Around the Square!
A big thank you to Culver’s of Huntley, the Huntley Police Department, and you #Huntley Area for an amazing night.
