July's In-House Activities

There are always special activities set up around the library for kids and tweens. Though they are posted as an event on the first of the month, these activities will be available all month long (while supplies last), and require no registration. Next time you're in the kids section, keep an eye open for what we have to offer! 

The Drawing Board:

Visit the Drawing Board in the juvenile section for step-by-step drawing tutorials. This month we are attempting to portray a character who has taken the world by storm: Minion Dave! Stop by the circulation desk for drawing supplies. When you are finished, you can either take your drawing home with you or turn it into the Information Desk to be hung on the Drawing Board. No registration required. 

Which Would Win:

This month we're hoping to solve a ponderous perplexity, would you rather: visit every country or understand every language on earth? Stop by the alcove near juvenile non-fiction to cast your vote and make your voice heard.

Literary Horoscope

See what the stars have in store for you, dear reader. Full horoscopes with reading recommendations are available on the slat wall in the teen section. Appropriate for readers age 14+

Curbside Crafts:

This month’s craft is a nifty bubble wand made from drinking straws, double sided tape, and popsicle sticks. Kits will be available on the table outside of the Youth Services office, starting July 1st.

2025: A Year of Holidays

Located on the wall next to circulation (across from the holds shelf),  this is a monthly calendar that tells you how to celebrate each day. Celebrate 10 days in a month and collect a small prize. 

First Chapter Friday

In the mood for something out of the ordinary? Join Ms. Carrie for a reading from Murray out of water, by Taylor Tracy. Murray has a special connection to the sea, but when a hurricane forces her family to move inland, she struggles to recapture her magic. This story is special for two reasons; one, it’s written entirely in verse, and two, it takes place in nearby Lavalette, New Jersey! 

This program will be available on our YouTube account starting July 4th!
