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  Normal Public Library's 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! 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!
