Join Michael, Octavia Field Library Branch's Children's Librarian, for an hour of nursery rhymes, storytelling, arts & crafts and playtime. We'll talk, sing, write, read and play, and your prekindergarten age kiddos will have so much fun that they won't even realize they are gaining valuable pre-literacy skills. Ages 0-5.
Join us to write along to some writing prompts, chat, make friends, and unwind! This program is for adults 18+. A journal will be provided if you don't already have one! No writing experience needed, just an open mind for adopting a new hobby :) We also sometimes collage and do other creative crafts!
For the month of April, we will combine our toddler story time with our Family Place Parent Child Workshop! Each week we will introduce an early childhood topic with a story and fingerplay. A community expert in each topic will be on hand for one-on-one time with parents while the children will have extra toys and playtime. Topics include: Early Literacy, Nutrition, Developmental Milestones, Speech and Language Development, and Movement. Check with the Crosby Library for the schedule and list of community experts.
Join us on the first Friday of every month for the teen writing club. Bring your writing to share and get feedback from other teens. Any kind of writing is welcome, from short stories to fanfiction, poetry to novels!
You’ll get short prompts, quiet time to work, and the option to share—no pressure, no critiques unless you ask. Bring your ideas, your notebook, and get ready to write!
Ages 13+
