No registration required

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!

Let's craft like it's 2012!  Kids in 1st grade and up can go (slightly) old school with the library's awesome teen volunteers and learn to make a simple rubber band bracelet on their fingers or using some of the Rainbow Loom tools.

Join the staff of NJ4S and make your own self-love sweetheart!  All supplies provided.  Light refreshments will be served.

For families with kids in kindergarten and up.

NJ4S is a prevention program that supports youth mental wellness and can connect students and their parents/caregivers with other community resources beneficial to social, emotional, and mental health and well-being, including clinical and non-clinical resources.

Kids in kindergarten and up are invited to decorate a heart-shaped jigsaw puzzle!  We'll be using markers, paint sticks, crayons, and colored pencils to create unique puzzles.  Perfect to keep for yourself or give to someone special!

Kids in grades K-8 are invited to take the Winter Reading Challenge!  The challenge runs from Sunday, January 12th through Friday, February 28th. 

Pick up a BINGO board at the children's desk anytime you're at the library.  Get five in a row and select a prize book that you can keep FOREVER!  That's because reading is its own reward.  :)

Join us for a special hour exclusively for families with children and teens who experience sensory sensitivities, held before the library opens to the public.
