Participants are welcome to drop in anytime from 3:30 to 5 p.m. We’re excited to offer new Legos for participants to explore, along with a special building challenge for this week’s session. Builders can choose to take on the challenge or free-build their own creations Kids can build towers, vehicles, creatures, or anything their imaginations dream up using our large collection of Lego bricks. No registration needed, just stop by and start building!
We will be observing Take Your Child to the Library Day on Thursday, Feb. 5. Children 16 & younger can sign up for a FREE library card, regardless of address (parent/guardian must have valid ID or driver’s license). We will have children’s activities from 3 to 5 p.m. – stay tuned for more information.
STORY TIME is hosted every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Children are treated to stories, fun activities, and a snack. This is a wonderful way to build routines, make new friends, and create special memories. Before leaving, your child may choose a prize from the Treasure Chest to take home.
