What Kids Think at the Library
Ever wish you could vote, or make your opinion count as a kid? Well, now you can! Each month at the library, you can vote on a variety of topics, and we will post the results on our website afterwards. Come by the library, and let us know what you think!
August’s favorite Way to Draw was with Markers.
This month, we will be voting on your favorite Farm Animal.
Scavenger Hunt
Come join in on our monthly scavenger hunts! You will learn about using the library and library materials, and have a chance to get to know us better. Once you finish, you will get a prize from the children’s librarian. September’s theme: I Spy – can you find all the grapes in the children’s room?
Guess the Number
Come join in our monthly Guess the Number guessing game! If you’re awesome at making guesses and estimation, or can count quickly on the fly, this one is for you!
