After School Reading Club – Teacher Kelly Stefannaci leads this book discussion for grades 4-6 from 6-7 pm every other Wednesday.  

 

Lego Club– May 18th, 11-noon.  We are trying out our new STEM Challenge Cards. Draw a card and complete the task–things like “build something with only blue bricks,” or “build the highest tower you can before it falls.” Target age: elementary schoolers.

 

Curious Club–Especially for ages 3-6, this group focuses on STEM skills in the world of Curious George.  We meet on the second Tuesday of the month from 4-5 pm–no need to register! Our next meeting is June 11th.

 

Pages and Paws–This also meets every second Tuesday of the month from 4-5 pm, right after Curious Club. Kids can come read to a special pet of the month. This is a great way for struggling readers to gain confidence and practice their reading skills, and it’s also a way to introduce your child to different animals! In the past we have been visited by dogs, cats, and even a bunny!

 

 

Block Party–Our block exploration program is every first Saturday of the month. Join us for an hour of fun with a story and a block challenge that helps your 0-6 year-old develop his/her STEM skills.  Our next one is June 1 from 11 am-1 pm. We will read Copy Crocs and practice replicating a structure using your own blocks.

 

 

Star Wars Day–Our 6th annual Star Wars Day will be on May 18, 2019, from 2-4 pm. This event will include a visit from costumed characters from the 501st Legion, games, crafts, science activities, and even a Chewbacca Call Contest! This event is best for children 3 and up and their families. Feel free to come in costume!  Register at the library, by calling 724-452-9330, or online at https://forms.gle/9PoWZqHDULmsV6548.
