Is there anything for the kids to do at the library during their Winter Break? You bet! Pre-school storytime and baby storytime will take place as usual on Wednesday and Thursday. In addition there will be two fun activites for school age kids: a Monopoly Tournament on Friday, December 28, and a Hobbit Party on Thursday, January 3rd.
And of course, the library is always a good place to stock up on a few good reads to tide you over the holidays. Winter is the best time to snuggle up with a good book and read!
Wednesday, Dec. 26 & Jan. 2: Preschool Storytime & Craft at 11:00 a.m. Ages 2-5
Thursday, Dec. 27 & Jan. 3: Babies & Books at 11:00 Ages 0-2 ½
Friday, Dec. 28: Monopoly Tournament beginning at 1:00 p.m. for all ages up to 17. Who is the Master of the Monopoly board? See if you can win the title in a round of timed games.
Thursday, Jan. 3: Junior Book Club. Share this month’s reading of Hoot by Carl Hiassen and then stay for the next big event:
Thursday, Jan. 3: Hobbit Party (Repeat): 3:30—5:00 p.m. ages 11-17 Teens and tweens will gather to enjoy some hobbit snacks and play hobbit-style games. Can you beat Bilbo at the Riddle Game, or win at Gollum’s Ring Toss? How are you at Hobbit Trivia? Can you find all the many hidden hobbit objects in the Library? Wear a costume if you want to and enter the world of Middle-Earth.
