2026 Summer at CPL Launch at Woodson Regional Library

Woodson Regional Library on the South Side

Featured Chapter: Designed by Chicago

Imagine Chicago. Then build it.

Woodson transforms the library into an immersive, larger-than-life experience where youth and families design their own version of the city. A winding, interactive Yellow Brick Road leads through Chicago-inspired worlds from historic neighborhoods to future cityscapes, inviting participants to create, play and reimagine what Chicago can be.

Signature moments include:

  • A walkable, game-like city experience inside the library
  • Hands-on building zones and creative design challenges
  • A silent listening party celebrating the Sound of the City
  • Arcade gaming and social spaces for teens
  • Chicago-themed crafts, games and community play

This is Chicago through imagination — built block by block, story by story.
