Snack Taste Test

A snack taste test at the Manning branch of the Chicago Public Library introduces kids ages 5 to 13 to candies from a different country — they sample, rate, and compare, turning a Wednesday afternoon into a low-key geography lesson. The program runs from 4:30 to 5:30 PM on September 16, 2026. Registration is required by 5 PM the day before, and a parent or guardian's email address is needed for the signup. The library notes that some snacks may be manufactured in facilities that also handle common allergens.
