Kids

For tweens in 3rd grade and up.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

We want to write

Some poems with you!

In February we'll be writing Acrostics!  (You thought we were going to say love poems, didn't you?  No way; too gross!!)

We'll try our hands at a different kind of poem each month and will work towards publishing a collection of poetry in April.  Join us for a fun, relaxed writing workshop. 

Let's make Valentines!  Children ages 2 and up, with their grown-up, can join us for a quick, beautiful, not-too-messy craft.  Clean up at 11:00!

Stop by the children's desk to grab a kit to bring home and make paper mittens! As supplies last.

Develop your fine motor skills in this craft involving some simple weaving! Children can decorate their ice skates, then weave the yarn laces and tie them together. This program is for children ages 3+.

Boogie Woogie Babies is a 30 minute dance class for Baby and their big person!  Ages 6months-3years

This program was made possible by a generous donation from the Columbia Bank Foundation.

Tom has delighted tens of thousands in over thirty years of performing - 47 programs in 6 states during the summer of 2022. Every show is a top ten lineup of most fun, most participatory kids' songs out there - many are even a bit athletic! He accompanies himself on guitar, banjo, and harmonica, and adds a drum machine to keep things upbeat and easy to move to. The most cool, interesting animal facts and pictures he can find are included, along with lots of encouragement of the kids' lifelong participation in reading and library usage.

We're ready to kick off Summer Reading with a super fun day with Nature Nick and his animal friends! Nature Nick will be doing three shows on Friday, June 23rd for all ages. The first show is at 10:00am, then 11:00am and 12:00pm. Each show is the same, so famililes should only attend one to make sure there is enough space for everyone who would like to come. Tickets will be required and given out free of charge on the day of the event. 

Join college students from the Rutgers University One Health Club to learn about how agriculture can affect environmental, animal, and human health.  Then you'll paint your own pot and plant some seeds to take home.  For kids and tweens in 2nd through 6th grades.
