Games Club

This program is completely free.
Classic Story Time
Perfect for kids from 3 to 5. Join the librarian for the classic Story Time you remember from your childhood. The program opens with a hand-selected book from our collection, and then kids and parents are directed on how to make a craft at their level with a theme from the book. This program is completely free, parents are required to participate.
Friday Crafts
Typically geared towards upper elementary and junior high students, kids learn new skills and create an interesting craft every week. The craft changes weekly, and you can see what we are making by calling the library or visiting us. Signing up before Friday is HIGHLY encouraged so supplies can be gathered. Space can be limited, and if you are not signed up you may not be able to participate. Parents are expected to participate, and there may be fees for materials.
