Do you have a gently used costume your child no longer wants? Does your child want a new costume? Don't SHOP for a new one- SWAP it! Donate a gently used and freshly laundered costume to the Children's Reference Desk during normal business hours, and receive a voucher to shop for another costume during our SHOP DAYS. It really is just that easy!
Costume Drop off days: 9/15/25-9/27/25 at the Kingwood Library

Join us for Polliwog Club on the first Tuesday of each month at 11:30 am! A traveling naturalist from Precinct 1 will be here at the Fairbanks Branch Library to share a story and fascinating information with us about a particular group of animals such as mammals, reptiles, birds, etc. She will bring 3-4 live animals from the featured group that the children will be able to see up close, and they will also have an opportunity to gently touch the animals if they would like to. Touching the animals is always optional. Hand sanitizer will be provided.
