## About

Kenosha Public Library's Southwest Neighborhood Library sets up what it calls the world's sweetest art studio for children ages 5 to 12. Kids paint with candy, create with candy and make a gumball machine that actually works. The class runs for an hour in the branch's Storytime Room. Registration is required: the library's listing opens sign-ups on Friday, November 6 at 9 a.m., caps the class at 24 participants with up to four seats per registration, and keeps a waitlist that moves people up automatically when spots open. The Southwest branch is at 7979 38th Avenue in Kenosha, and the library's main number is (262) 564-6100.
