Week Calendar

It is an excellent way for children and their adults to socialize outside. 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, we will try to move our nature-themed activities into the storyroom.

Registration Required | Ages 6-8

Start the literary adventure of a lifetime with our NEW book club for newly independent readers! Book Scouts will earn 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 second Tuesday of each month to discuss our latest book, enjoy a snack, and engage in an activity. 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. Scouts will mark off their books and activities as they complete through Beanstack. Prior to registering for this program, caregivers will need to create an account for their child in Beanstack if they do not already have an account.

Pop in for our Monthly Knit Night, the third Tuesday of each month. 

This is an informal, drop-in knitting event. Bring your own project and spend some time in the company of other creative folks. 

Beginners are also welcome. Experienced knitters will be on hand with skill, support, and patience. Random yarn and knitting needles are also available for learning. 

A BIG THANK YOU to the Madison Knitters Guild for their support!

We will meet upstairs near the windows that overlook the park.
