Valentine's Day Self-Love Craft

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.

Valentine Puzzles

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!

Winter Reading Challenge Begins!

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.  :)

Space is limited to 10 children, with an adult. Free tickets will be given out at the children's desk beginning at 4:30 PM on the day of the event.
