2024 NATIONAL MEDAL
for Museum and Library Service Finalist

Kids

Stuffed Animal Clinic

Brought to you by HIPHOP-CHI at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

 

Bring your cutest stuffed animals and give them a checkup, just like a real doctor!

 

Kids will learn from future doctors how to perform the doctor's exam, including taking their temperature, listening to the heart, and putting on a bandaid.

Sensory Friendly Browsing Hour

Join us for a special sensory-friendly hour at the library, held before public hours.

This dedicated time is designed to offer a quieter, calmer library experience for children, teens, and adults with sensory sensitivities, along with their families or guardians.

The library will be open only to registered participants during this hour, providing a safe, low-stimulation environment to browse, read, use the computers and explore before regular public hours begin.

Dog Man Buttons & Bookmarks

Thursday, October 23, 3:00PM

What happens to old library books?  Many of them end up at the Friends of the Library Book Sale, but some of them are literally falling apart from our EB kids reading and reading and reading them!  Those are too gross to be sold.  Thankfully, they are not too gross to turn into something new!  

Kids in kindergarten and up are invited to this fun event to make bookmarks and buttons out of beat-up old Dog Man books!

Limited space!  Free tickets available at the children's desk beginning at 2:30 PM.
