Chalk It Up to Character Week at the Library

Help us spread kindness and positivity in Elk Grove Village! 

In collaboration with the Community Character Coalition (CCC), the Elk Grove Village Public Library will be participating in Chalk It Up to Character Week (May 12 - May 18) to celebrate our exceptional community through colorful chalk art drawn and written on sidewalks throughout the Village. All residents are invited to participate no matter your skill level in art.

Stop in the Library to pick up a 5-piece packet of jumbo chalk in Adult Services, Circulation Services, or Youth Services. One packet per family. Then, draw family-friendly pictures or write positive sayings or messages on the sidewalk outside the Library or at your own home. No registration is required. When you're finished with your chalk art, we encourage you to take a picture of it and email it to treasurer@ccceg.org to be shared on the CCC website and social media.
