Summer Library Programs 2025: Level Up

In-Person Programs

To request an in-person Douglas-Hart program at your library, please email [email protected], call 217-235-4644, or use the online request form. Response time will be quickest if you book through email! When scheduling, please have multiple dates in mind, as the program availability fills quickly.
Program price depends on the distance of your library from the Douglas-Hart Nature Center. Discounts are available for partnering with nearby libraries. Contact the Nature Center for details.
*NEW to 2025* Due to high demand, we will limit our travel to within 45 miles of the Douglas-Hart Nature Center. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Our educators can adjust to your space. We request you provide a table at the front of the space. Audience may be seated on the floor, in chairs, or at tables.
Programs are 50-60 minutes.
All programs include a craft and live animal meet and greet.
Designed for up to 35 school-aged children. Our educators will adjust each program for the amount and ages present. If you plan to have more than 35 children in attendance, please select our large group option that accommodates up to 60 youth. If your group size is beyond that, we encourage you to limit registration, or book 2 programs back-to-back to split the group size (contact us for scheduling and pricing). The Douglas-Hart Foundation prides itself on offering quality educational programming, and in our experience, the program is not as effective when the group size gets too large.
