Today a reader, tomorrow a leader. –Margaret Fuller

Storytime's not just for our youngest patrons! Help your older child grow a love for reading as we explore literacy through stories, songs, games, and crafts you can enjoy as a family. We'll have occassional guest speakers, too. Due to the featured books and the skill level needed for some crafts and activities, this program is especially ideal for elementary-aged children, but all ages are welcome. We strive to create rich and fun experiences that build a love of books, libraries, and learning that will stay with children for a lifetime.

This series is designed with homeschool families in mind and may also provide an alternative for families unable to attend our weekly storytimes on Tuesdays.

Exciting art-ventures for all...

Dive in for a creative evening of art appreciation and exploration! Using a variety of mediums, create a different work of art at each monthly session—from painting and sculpture to mixed media and beyond. Whether you enjoy making an awesomely creative DIY project or prefer to make a fun, functional art piece, there will be something for every artist to enjoy. Expect things to get a bit messy, so dress accordingly and prepare to unleash your creativity in a fun, supportive environment.

Psst... This is a great event for family bonding or for getting creative with friends, providing a free space where you can try something new together without worrying about the cleanup. It's about the process, not the product (though we think the projects are pretty neat!).
