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!

Are you concerned about your memory? Some changes can be normal as we age, but significant memory loss is not a normal part of aging. If you have questions about your memory, sign up today

Professionals from the Aging & Disability Resource Center will provide these screenings and let you know if further steps should be taken. They will also provide helpful information about memory and tips to keeping your brain healthy.

NEW in February: due to high demand, we will be expanding the age group of our participants as well as the number who can register for Book Scouts! We will have two staff members dedicated to two age groups: 5-7 & 7-9. We will share more details out later in January for those who are currently registered or who would like to register.

Start the literary adventure of a lifetime with our book club for newly independent readers! Book Scouts will read books, engage in community helper activities, and earn badges for their achievements. Our group will read a wide variety of books--from graphic novels, illustrated chapter books, and more. The group will regularly meet the fourth Tuesday of each month to discuss our latest book and have a blast with activities and crafts. We will also enjoy pop-up opportunities to help support the community with literacy needs.

Book Scouts will receive a specialty item that will hold all of the badges they earn throughout the program.
