3rd Fridays: Pokemon
4th Fridays: Crafternoon

Join us every week for Friday fun! The first and third Fridays will have a Legos or Pokemon focus. On the remaining Fridays each month, we will create craft projects such as pony beady buddies, quilling designs, jewelry making, crochet, and much more!

This drop in activity time is open to all ages. Folks are free to come and go as they please, and we encourage caregivers to participate alongside their little ones, as these activities are not monitored in the way that our registration required programs are.

Friday afternoons are all about having fun building, playing, exploring, and creating together! 1st Friday of the month: STEM, 2nd & 4th Friday: LEGO, 3rd Friday: Art. If there's a 5th Friday, we'll let you know what it will be! Great for ages 5-12 and families!

NOTE: The library will be closed on November 28th.
