Unplug with ECL
Screen-Free Week 2025: Unplug with Elgin County Library for Screen-Free Week May 5-11, 2025.
Screen-Free Week is a global invitation to take a break from entertainment screens and experience more peace, connection, and fun in the first week of May.
Anyone can participate, all you need to do is make a conscious effort to reduce your screen time (maybe not entirely) for the week!
Get a group together and go for a hike, have a craft night, or just do it as a family and play a board game together.
Luckily, at ECL, we have lots of materials that you can borrow for free with your Elgin County Library card to help you have a fun Screen-Free Week.
Screen-Free Newsletter
We’ve put together a list of suggestions for the kids in your life. Check out the newest and hottest graphic novels on our shelves, activity books to help inspire and spark the imagination, and more:
And if you like the idea of getting new book suggestions in your email inbox in the future, we have lots of newsletters that come out monthly and bi-monthly, including Kids Reads, Picture Books, and YA Books.
Ok, now get off your screen!
