It is an excellent way for children and their adults to socialize. We meet in the green space outside the children's area entrance off of Schluter Road.

Activities may include but are not limited to open-ended play, blocks, storytelling, puppets, scavenger hunts, crafts, and more! 

Ages 2-6 but younger and older siblings/friends are always welcome. If the weather is questionable (too cold/chance of storms/other advisories), we move our nature-themed activities into the storyroom.

Please click the REMIND ME icon above the program description for updates.

Drop-in!

No registration is needed. We meet all year long!

For parents: Despite contrary belief, research has shown that Graphic Novels are incredibly beneficial to children and their literacy skills! Graphic novels often contain more advanced vocabulary than chapter books, are helpful to readers with dyslexia, and are a way to encourage reluctant readers to engage in reading.

Eating locally is something we can do as individuals to stem the climate crisis. But not everyone has a sunny space or may not have a yard at all to grow their own food. One solution is to rent a plot in a community garden.
