Our Language Discussion Groups will now be offered as a hybrid - attend in person or online!

Please note that each group is volunteer-facilitated. These are not classes. They will have no teacher and may have no native speakers. However, the library has many resources for language learning—ask us today!

Blast Off Book Club is our book club for emerging readers in grades K – 2. Currently we are offering Blast Off Book Club to go, with the option for a Zoom meet-up.

Register to reserve a Blast Off Book Club kit, containing this month’s book and a list of related activities. Students are welcome, but not required, to attend a Zoom session the following week to discuss the book and the activities.

Every week we’ll have a new activity for teens in grades 6 -12. Each kit will also include a snack!

No registration is required, but pickup is first-come-first-served on Mondays and Tuesdays between 11 AM - 7 PM. The project will be the same on Monday and Tuesday, so no need to come both days.

Every week we’ll have a new activity for youth up to fifth grade. From science activities to arts and crafts, these projects are a great way for some screen-free fun!

No registration is required, but pickup is first-come-first-served on Mondays and Tuesdays between 11 AM - 7 PM. The project will be the same on Monday and Tuesday, so no need to come both days.
