Color themed storytime centered on the color blue for children ages 2-5.

Spring themed storytime for children ages 2-5.

For current TAG members looking for more volunteer hours, we invite you to join us for this combination celebration and teen volunteering opportunity! Celebrate the end of midterms and the upcoming Valentine holiday with snacks and crafts as we decorate and spruce up the teen space. Attending the entire event will earn two hours of volunteer credit.

Sign up is not required, but we do request a casual RSVP so that we have enough snacks for everyone! You can RSVP using this Google form.

Come join us for stories, songs, and craft.

Age 2+

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.
