Play. Explore. Investigate.

Sensational sensory fun awaits! Bring your little ones to the library to explore sensory learning. Sensory play is designed to stimulate a young child's senses—hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling, touching—and to create an early, natural introduction to the scientific processes as children play and investigate. Bottom line: kids have TONS of hands-on fun while strengthening important cognitive skills and fine and gross motor skills.

At each session, we will provide several exciting sensory stations for your child to explore while introducing you to early learning tools to benefit your child's development. Plus, we will provide a take-home project so you can continue the learning and fun beyond your visit! Things could get messy, so be sure to dress appropriately.

Share your thoughts; shape your library...

We want to hear from you! Stop by any Community Check-in event, an informal drop-in session where you can share your thoughts about the library, offer feedback, and chat with staff about exciting updates—like the latest on the Hillview expansion!

No formal presentations, no long surveys—just a casual opportunity to let us know what you love, what you’d like to see more of, and how BCPL can better serve you. Plus, we'll have small treats and giveaways as a thank-you for sharing your input. We look forward to hearing from you!
