You’ve Got Mail Pen Pal Program (K-6th Grade)

A pen pal is a person you trade letters with to build friendships, stay connected, and practice your reading and writing skills. It’s a fun way to get to know your community! Within our pen pal program you will have the option to write to a fellow La Grange Park Library patron  or Library staff member, if you are not comfortable sharing your address. You will receive writing supplies, envelopes, and a few stamps* to get you started.

This program will be self guided, but we recommend you send at least 3 letters to your pen pal by February. As always, we just ask that you remain kind and respectful in the content you choose to share.

To register, please fill out this form here and we will email you the information of your writing buddy. Then, stop by the Children’s Department to pick up a packet of supplies. If you have any questions, you can email us at childrens@lplibrary.org or stop by the Children’s desk.

Disclaimer Statement:

The La Grange Park Library is not responsible for the content within each letter. Hate or discrimination will not be tolerated. Pen Pals will be assigned by age/grade, unless you write a library staff member. Identifying information such as sex, gender, or national origin will not be requested.

*Address is only required if you choose to write another person besides the library staff.
