You have a role to play in this wild winter adventure! On the darkest night of the year, children must beware the Snow Queen – and when a boy vanishes from his village, his best friend is the only one who can rescue him. And she needs your help on her quest to stop the Snow Queen! You’ll help our heroine decide what happens next, join in the song, and bring the best friends back together. 

Art projects for children ages 3-6 years old. Painting can get a little messy, so come prepared! We recommend bringing an apron or wearing clothes that can get paint on them.

Join us on Thursday, January 8, 2026 from 4:30-5:30pm for Lego Club here at the Fairbanks Branch Library! We will have Legos, mega blocks and magna tiles to build with. Come have fun! This program is for ages 6-11 but siblings are always welcome. We will meet inside the meeting room.

This program is normally held on the first Thursday of every month, but it's different for January due to the New Year's Day holiday. We're holding it on January 8th instead.

This program is provided in part by the generous support of the Friends of the Fairbanks Library.
