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!

NEW to Graphic Novel Book Club: PLEASE REGISTER for this series throught the calendar to attend! You will register once for the entirety of the series. Books ready at the front desk after each meeting for checkout--if you miss a book club, just stop at the main desk for our next read! Join us for an awesome Graphic Novel reading adventure! Each session, we will discuss a pre-selected book, enjoy a snack, and complete an activity related to our book selection! 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.
