A new school year means PROGRAMS for kids at the library!

With the start of the new school year comes the start of fall programming at the library - we've got something for everyone from Books and Babies to Book Bingo!
 
Make sure to check out the full schedule on EventKeeper, but here are a few sneak peaks:

  • MusicWorks will be with us in storytimes THREE times this fall. Meet Mr. Jerry and a new friend, Ms. Kathleen on Tuesday, September 13, Monday October 17, and Wednesday November 2.
  • LEGO Club will be back in full force on Thursdays after school for K-5th graders with Ms. Michelle.
  • Creative Corner is back for 4 and 5 year olds at a new time this season. After a long break from afternoon preschooler programs, we're trying this group at 1:30pm on the third Thursday of each month. What do you think?

Can't wait to see you next week!
