Kids

Make a Cute Magnet!

Kids ages 3 years and up, with an adult, are invited to stop by the children's section to create a cute, silly, health-themed magnet.  Pick a magnet that looks like an athletic animal or a snail with fruit for its shell! 

This fun event coincides with the annual Day of Service, when first-year medical students from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School visit the library to share health and wellness information and meet library patrons.

Make a Crystal Beaded Suncatcher!

Thursday, August 13, 10:00 AM

Back by patron request!  We had so much fun making these in May, and they came out so beautifully, that we're doing it again!!

Kids entering 1st grade and up are invited to drop in and make an elegant, sparkly suncatcher!  We'll be using beads, cord, jewelry findings, and our fine motor skills!

While supplies last!

For kids entering 1st grade and up.  Teens welcome! 

Dessert Discussion: Feelings, Social Media... & Ice Cream!

Wednesday, June 17, 5:00 PM

Join our friends from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School for a workshop on feelings and mental health, social media, and how these topics are related.  Learn some strategies for navigating tough feelings or difficult friend (or frenemy) situations, and wrap up with a plan for how you can use social media while staying safe and grounded.  

Ohhh!!!  And enjoy some ice cream while we chat, because what makes an awkward conversation easier than having a frozen dessert to literally "break the ice" with?
