After School Hangout

The weekly after-school program at the West Pullman library gives kids, tweens, and teens a relaxed place to land when the school day ends. Drop in Wednesday afternoons from 3:30 to 6:00 PM for a rotating mix of video games (NBA 2K26 and Mario Kart are in regular rotation), board games, painting, and DIY crafts such as keychain making. Snacks are provided, and the whole setup is low-pressure — no registration, no experience needed, just show up and find something that clicks. Accessibility accommodations are available with at least 14 business days' notice by calling (312) 747-8184 or emailing access@chipublib.org.
