Art projects are age-appropriate for elementary school age children and their caregivers. We will announce art subjects at the start of each program.
Sorry we cannot accommodate Daycare groups for this program.
Join us for an adventure in Hispanic folktales! This show features a variety of characters from a wide range of cultures in stories that celebrate the various folk tale traditions of the Spanish-speaking world. Your young audience will love these high-energy stories being brought to life.
Travel with us as we explore the world through art! Enjoy a fun hands-on learning experience that covers artists both past and present and create your own masterpiece inspired by their amazing artwork!
This program is for children ages 6-12 and their parent/caregiver. Registration is required and begins one week in advance.
Haunted homeschoolers, join us in the Grand Chamber for a morning of spine-tingling creativity and monstrous masterpieces at Crafts from the Crypt!
Every week this October at 11:00 AM, creative ghouls and goblins ages 5–10 will gather at the library to resurrect ordinary craft supplies into spectacularly spooky art. From friendly phantoms to creepy-crawly keepsakes, each session will be horridly fun and hands-on for growing monsters--we mean makers. Parents, don't fear—the mess stays with us in the crypt.
Join us for a special Spring Stuffy Sleepover at the Barbara Bush Branch Library where one of your stuffies will spend the night at the library!
Say goodnight to them during this Drop-Off Storytime and pick them up the next day. The Children's Librarians will tuck them for their night away and keep them safe. How much mischief could they possibly get into at the quiet library?
After a long night at the library making new friends, you can pick up your stuffy anytime on Saturday, October 31st.
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.
Krafty Kids is a whimsical environment where children can express their creativity through a variety of artistic activities, ranging from painting to sculpting.

Join us every Wednesday at 3:45 PM for an inspiring creative adventure!
Join Gaby for a guided painting session! Kids will learn how to create their masterpiece, from start to finish in one session.
