Kids

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.

Monarch Butterfly Release

Friday, August 29 at 4:00 PM

Calling all citizen scientists and nature lovers! Come learn about monarch caterpillars and their life cycle, plus see them in their chrysalides up close. Stick around for an optional craft (while supplies last) and a release of two newly hatched butterflies into nature.

Children of all ages are welcome along with parents and caregivers.

Sensory Boo Bags

Celebrate spooky season with NJ4S by discovering the power of coping skills that support emotional regulation!  Participants will have the opportunity to create their own sensory boo bags designed to encourage calm and focus.  Take home strategies that make managing big feelings both fun and approachable!

For kids of all ages, with an adult.  Teens are welcome to attend!

Limited space!  Free tickets for this event are available at the children's desk the day of the event, beginning at 4:30PM.
