As we start story time back up again we would love your feedback on days and times that you prefer, and activities you’d like.

End of Summer Drop-In Activity Days
for kids of all ages

Join us at the library for something new: drop-in activities! In these final days before school starts, come grab a snack and settle in to a self-directed activity. We will have materials related to the theme of the day out on tables for you to explore!
