Arts & Crafts for Kids’ first craft of the year:
Let’s Pretend We’re Andy Warhol!
This drop-in arts learning program, intended for children ages 2-7 and their caregivers, creates a space for bonding and community for families. LEGO® Club in 2025 features a little bit of a make over as well. Attendees are offered the option to display their creations in the stacks of juvenile fiction! Both programs are intentionally scheduled at a convenient time immediately after the school day, so if you haven’t had a chance to stop by, please do!

Tween Hangout, held the 2nd Monday of the month, from 4-5 p.m., is a place for tweens to be tweens. Intended for ages 8-13 with or without a caregiver, tweens can enjoy structured activities like friendship bracelets, DIY mazes, paint pouring, or games they can play on their own, as well as snacks, all in a low-key environment ideal for de-stressing from a busy school day.
