It's National Puzzle Piece Day! Pick up a kit to make a silly puzzle piece creature to mark your spot in a book! Follow along with this tutorial video to find out how.   

Ms. Brenda has a new Spanish Storytime for you today! And if you're looking for what we're up to in February, our new calendar is ready!

  We have some colorful craft kits for you today to counteract the gloominess outside! For 2-4 Year Olds, create a field of butterflies! We supply the canvas and butterflies, your imagination supplies the rest! And for 5-7 Year Olds, we have a colorful yarn project perfect for beginning weavers! And finally, Ms. Kat's latest Rattle & Rhyme Storytime for babies! Don't forget, we'll be restarting our Neighborhood Storytimes at Stevenson Park on Tuesday February 2 at 10:30am under the Pavilion. 

This week's Friday Craft Kit has a special guest to help us with the tutorial, Chewbacca! Pick up a Porg or a Blathers the Owl from the Children's Department or the drive through window! A new week, a new letter, a new Preschool Storytime with Ms. Christina. Can you guess what letter we're going to discuss today? What is your favorite word that starts with this letter? Have your grown up leave it in a comment below and Ms. Christina may mention it in the next storytime! We'll also be resuming our Neighborhood Storytimes in February but we'll be keeping them at one location: the pavilion at Stevenson Park. Our social distancing guidelines will still be in effect but we welcome you to join us on Tuesdays from 10:30-11:30 (weather permitting)!

 Yesterday was a holiday, but that doesn't mean we're skipping our Monday craft kits!  Come in and pick up a Yeti Craft (5-7 year olds) or a Five Green and Speckled Frogs Craft (2-4 year olds) at the drive through or in the Children's Department! And since it is the proper day for it, here is Ms. Brenda's Toddler Time for this week!  We'll also be resuming our Neighborhood Storytimes in February but we'll be keeping them at one location: the pavilion at Stevenson Park. Our social distancing guidelines will still be in effect but we welcome you to join us on Tuesdays from 10:30-11:30 (weather permitting)!
