About the event

8 Countries in 1 Day
Are you ready to travel the world from the comfort of your own library? Prepare for takeoff at our annual “8 Countries in 1 Day” event when we take you on a journey around the globe!

Attend a Masquerade Ball in Italy, play Dinifri in Morocco, gobble down pineapple cake in Taiwan, and much more! Other countries included will be South Korea, Montenegro, Armenia, Myanmar, and India. Each country will have crafts, activities, and food.

Stop by the welcome table to get your “luggage” and passport before your adventure begins. Visit every country, get your passport stamped, and enter for a chance to win one of many prizes. Bring canned food items to get additional raffle tickets.

The library welcomes back the Northern Illinois University’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies and International Student Affairs as partners.

Off the Leash Coffee Company will provide samples of coffees and chocolates from around the world at their kiosk in the lower level.

Gather in the main lobby for big performances throughout the day!

11:00 a.m.: Xochitl-Quetzal Aztec Dance

A big thanks goes out to our many sponsors who make this event possible: Friends of the DeKalb Public Library, DeKalb Kiwanis, Egg Haven, WNIJ, Banner Up, The Suter Company, Off the Leash Coffee Company, Kishwaukee Kiwanis Club, Old National Bank, Nestle Distribution Company, Integrated Store Systems, Inc., and China House.
