Northwest Branch Library
Enjoy some time to bond with your baby and meet new friends. This program is for babies and will feature lap-sit stories, songs, activities and time to socialize with others. Story time is an excellent way to bond with your child, boost their vocabulary, and hopefully raise a lifelong reader. Studies have shown that regularly reading to your child can increase their attention span, boost their emotional intelligence, and flex their imagination. A free ticket is required and can be picked up at the information desk 30 minutes prior to the program.
Come hang out with some adult coloring pages, explore watercolors, try your hand at sketching or bring your own art project to work on. Materials are provided at this two hour chill sesh.

No Cricut experience is necessary, and a small selection of items will be available for those who don’t bring their own—but supplies are limited, so we encourage you to bring an item from home.
Please bring: A clean, dry, cotton or cotton-blend item such as a T-shirt, tote bag, pillowcase, or fabric accessory.
