Kids

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.

Pick a book and share it one on one with a furry friend from The Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs, Inc.! You can bring a favorite book from home, or select a book from our library shelves and take some time to Paws and Read together!

This program is for kids ages 4-12 and their parents. Registration is required and begins online one week prior.

Dive into color with Water You Painting?! Kids and tweens will explore watercolor painting through fun techniques, creative prompts, and plenty of artistic freedom. Come experiment, paint, and see where your imagination flows!

No experience needed — all supplies provided.

Step into the Literacy League, where stories come to life!

Our Chapter Champions (teens) are ready to guide your Story Seekers (children; grades K-3rd) through the wonders of the written word in stories, information, and books.

The Literacy League is a literacy program to provide teen mentorship and guidance to K-3rd graders pursuant to establishing and promoting a culture of literacy and books at the library and beyond into their home Reading Refuge.

Join us on Tuesdays at 10:30 am for Baby Story Time! This 30-minute Story Time program is designed for babies from birth to 18 months old. We share books, songs, rhymes, music, bubbles, and toys! We also learn some early literacy tips and activities. It’s a great way to meet other caregivers and to give your baby a chance to socialize.

Siblings are always welcome.

This program is held in our library meeting room.

No registration or tickets required.

Stories are better when shared. 

Book Buddies is a FREE program that pairs children with adult volunteers to share the joy of reading together. For 10 weeks, the Adult and Little Buddies meet once a week in the afternoon for 45 minutes of one-on-one shared reading. Open to children in grades K-3rd.

Turn reading into an adventure and watch your child's confidence grow! Our Spring cycle of Book Buddies will run from March 18th to May 20th.
