Wiggle, giggle, and read together!
Join other toddlers and their parents or caregivers for weekly Toddler Time Storytime every Thursday at 10:15 a.m. or 11:15 a.m. Each session features age-appropriate stories, songs, and fingerplays designed to encourage early literacy, movement, and fun interaction.
This program is specially geared for toddlers ages 18–35 months and their caregivers. No ticket required—just drop in and join the fun!
Open to all, beginners and advanced crafters! Bring your project and enjoy a lovely morning and afternoon of conversation and inspiration as you quilt, knit, sew, bead...whatever brings you crafterly joy! This program is self-hosted.
Join us for a free class to help you prepare for your naturalization interview and civics test. An English assessment must be taken for class admittance. Taking this class does not grant citizenship or pay for any application fees. Registration is required as space is limited.
De-stress, unwind, and enjoy the almost-magical calm that comes from painting with watercolors. This week's inspirations will honor April Fools' Day -- whimsical, humorous, and maybe a little silly.
This is not an art class -- it's a chance to be creative and relax while enjoying each other's company in an encouraging environment.
See the colors flow from your imagination to the paper and let your worries drift away for a while.
This program is for adults 18+.
Book Buddies is a FREE literacy program that brings child and teens together to share the joy of reading. It pairs trained teen volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in K-3rd grades (Little Buddies).
Each Wednesday for 10 weeks, Big Buddies and Little Buddies will meet to read together and create positive experiences surrounding literacy. By the end of the session, we aspire that all Little Buddies will learn to love to read and form positive associations with reading.
