Program Description

Event Details

Is your child always busy creating something — keychains, slime, bracelets, or any other DIY project? Encourage them to apply to be part of the Normal Public Library Kid Market — a hands-on opportunity for future entrepreneurs to develop real-life business and money management skills. Participants will receive six weeks of online business coaching to refine their idea and create their products, concluding with a market-style public event hosted by the library to sell their wares on May 3, 2025! This program is open to children ages 7-14. You may apply as sole business owners or with up to three business partners (for a total of four kids per business).

Kid Market 2025 applications will be accepted January 13, 2025  through February 9, 2025. Registration Link coming soon!

**Note: Food products or items containing glitter will not be allowed to be sold as wares at the market**
