Kids

Looking to chat with other homeschoolers and swap tricks and tips? Join us each month for Homeschool Hangout! Students will engage with crafts, activities, and games, while caregivers have the opportunity to network.

This month, kids in grades K-6th will participate in a hands-on, healthy drinks workshop. After a reading from The Secret of Sugarland, kids will then be guided through creating their own delicious drink along with a friendly introduction to sugar and sugary foods with simplified, easy-to-understand, facts.

Need a place to finish homework and relax after school?

Join us for Homework Help & Hangout every 2nd and 4th Thursday at 4:30 PM! Whether you're working through a difficult assignment, studying for a test, or just looking for a quiet place to focus, the library is here to help.

Each session includes:

We're back at it here at the Barbara Bush Branch Library! Show off your favorite spooky (or not so spooky) book characters, gourd style.

Multiple pumpkins of varying sizes can be combined into one entry as long as their combined size is no larger than a basketball. Three prizes will be awarded: "Sour Patch (silliest)", "Crowd Favorite", and "The Great Pumpkin".

Don't forget to come in and vote!

What You'll Need:

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. 

In order to ensure the safety of our youngest patrons, this is a ticketed program. Free tickets are available 30 minutes before the program starts. First come, first served.

Book Buddies is a free program that brings children and teen volunteers together to share the joy of reading. It pairs trained volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in Kindergarten through 3rd grades (Little Buddies). For 10 weeks, the Buddies meet once a week in the afternoon for 45 minutes of one-on-one shared reading.

The Fall cycle of Book Buddies will run from September 17th to November 19th.  Reading sessions will be in the library meeting room.

Pre-K+ Storytime for Walkers & Talkers

This Storytime focuses on the developmental needs for "Preschoolers," specifically children who are walkers AND talkers.

So, seats and attendance for this Storytime give priority to "preschoolers, who are walkers & talkers.

Come and celebrate this joyous festival with us.  We will do fun activities and crafts.  Light refreshments (Moon Cake and drinks) will be served.

* Tickets are required for all programs, unless otherwise noted. They are free and available 30 minutes before the program begins at the children's reference desk. Tickets are limited and offered on a first come first serve basis. Lines for the tickets sometimes form before the tickets are distributed. Tickets can run out very quickly, so please plan accordingly. *
