Holiday & Winter Programs for All Ages
The library has an exciting lineup of seasonal programs for kids, teens, and adults, from storytimes and holiday crafts to movie marathons and DIY gift-making workshops. There’s something for everyone to get into the holiday spirit!
What's The Teal Pumpkin Project?
Halloween is a fun holiday for many kids. You can dress up in a fun costume and go trick-or-treating, collecting lots of candy. But what if you had a food allergy, which causes your immune system to overreact to certain food proteins? Trick-or-treating might not feel like a possibility with the high risk of being exposed to an allergen. FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) decided to help change that with the Teal Pumpkin Project.
Upcoming Events for Kids
