Giving Thanks

Story Time

What are you thankful for? Children ages 2 to 5, with a caregiver, are invited to our in-person, indoor preschool storytime, at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 16. Enjoy an interactive, theme-based, multi-age storytime with an emphasis on early literacy that will include an art activity that can be completed at the library or taken home. Please register once per family.

Family yoga

There are still a few openings for children ages 3 to 7, with a caregiver, for the November 13 and 20 yoga classes. These are small groups that will explore standing and seated poses, sun salutations, breath work, and so much more. Register on our events calendar for one or both of these 10:15 a.m. classes. Please bring a mat or large towel.

Craft and chat

Is afternoon or evening more convenient for you? Either way, we have you covered! Join us for the 1:30 p.m. and/or 6 p.m. program on Tuesday, Nov. 23. Registration is needed for this in-person class where we will be making a fun craft supplied by the library. Enjoy some time with fellow crafters as we gather for casual conversation and crafting fun.
