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.

Pee Wee Playdate

Join us for an open playtime for children from 0-35 months accompanied by an adult. Toys are selected with age and safety guidelines in mind and are suitable for young children. We clean up together at 11:15!

Pokémon Club

Join TAG volunteer Lilian in the YS programming room for Pokémon Club. 

Bring your own Pokémon cards in if you want to trade with others. Each session of the club also features trivia games and other fun activities. 

This drop-in style program is best suited for children in grades 3 and up, but all are welcome. No registration required.

Young Writers Group (Gr. 8-12)

Facilitated by TAG volunteer Myer, the Younger Writers Group is a monthly meeting space for aspiring authors of all genres - poetry, lyrics, fiction, nonfiction, short stories, and more! Attendees are encouraged to bring their writing implements of choice (e.g., pen and paper, laptop, etc.) as well as whatever writing project they've been working on recently.

From Storytime to Support: Services for Parents

All caregivers are welcome to attend this parent workshop from Central Jersey Family Health Consortium. This presentation-style educational session will cover tools and partnerships that support your child's development and learning. Whether you are navigating your child's "firsts" or looking for a way to make community connections, this event will help support you and your child's wellness.

Library staff will also be on hand to answer questions about what resources the library has to offer families.
