Crosby Edith Fae Cook Cole Branch Library

Embark on a crafting adventure this summer at the Crosby Branch Library. Teens ages 13 and up are invited to design, craft, and hand-sew their own unique felt cryptid plushie!

Please note that participants should be comfortable using basic crafting tools such as scissors, sewing needles, and other sewing supplies independently. Instruction will be provided, but attendees are expected to complete their own projects during the class, and parents or guardians will not be able to attend or complete the craft on their behalf.

Join us every Tuesday at 10:30 am for stories, songs, fingerplays and crafts using best practices of the Every Child Ready to Read program. You and your children will have fun while honing skills necessary to be ready to read!

Crosby Branch Library is excited to welcome guest author Lynne Kelly, known for her popular novels Song for a Whale and Chained, as a special presenter for our June Teen Writers Club.

Lynne Kelly will share insights into writing for teens, discuss her journey as an author, and answer questions during a live Q&A session. Tweens and teens are invited to attend this engaging and informative author talk, perfect for young readers and aspiring writers. Adults are welcome to join as well.

Readers of all ages are encouraged to check out her books in our system! 

Dance to Learn is a movement integration program that approaches academic learning from a kinesthetic perspective. Houston Ballet teaching artists work to create lessons that address TEKS in multiple subject areas while building Social Emotional Skills. Shhhh! Don't tell your kids that they are learning! They will be having a blast pretending to dance like dinosaurs! Group size is limited to 25 participants, so be sure to sign up at the front desk.

Once you have signed up, be sure to check in at least 10 minutes before the class starts, otherwise, the spot may be released.

We will supply the snacks and prompts, just bring a notebook and a pen!
