Winter Break is almost upon us, which means it’s time to head to the library for tons of extra fun! Kids, Teens, and their families are invited to join us during Winter Break Week (December 23-31) for a flurry of seasonal activities.
When you visit the library, you’ll find scavenger hunts, craft activities, and games all week long–just stop by the Youth Services desk (Level 1) for details. While you are there, ask about our Winter Library Program (December 21–February 28)! You can sign up for our Family or Teen program to earn a prize! Click here for full info.
Of course, we also have some special events happening throughout the week. On Monday, December 23, join us for a Squishmallow Painting Party! Join us to create your own Squishmallow portrait on canvas, while supplies last. No registration needed. Details here!
Teens will have a chance to get cozy at the library during Winter Break Week. Youth in grades 7-12 are invited to join us in the teen lounge for Cozy Vibes Only on Thursday, December 26. We will provide a hot cocoa station, a cozy reading room, a stitching corner, a variety of puzzles and games, and snacks! Registration is recommended, but not required.

Teens are also invited to get crafty with us at Do You Wanna Build a Snow Globe? On Friday, December 27. Teens in grades 7-12 can make their very own weird or wonderful miniature snowscape. Registration is required by clicking here.
Have you ever wanted to visit the library after we close? Then Family Fort Night is for you! On Friday, December 27, families are invited to join us after hours to build a cozy fort to read in, and to enjoy stories, snacks, crafts, and games. Registration and details here!

If video games are your thing, join us on Monday, December 30 as we break out the Nintendo Switch games!

No registration is required for either session.
Finally, on Tuesday, December 31, families can visit the library to ring in the new year at our Noon Year’s Eve Party. Join us for dancing, crafts, face painting, snacks, and a countdown to a balloon drop at noon! No registration required. Click here for details.
And, of course, we always offer books, movies, video games, maker kits, and so much more, so stock-up for chilly weather and family time. Be sure to stop in – we’re always happy to see you!
