Do you need volunteer hours for school? Are you looking for a way to help out your community? Would you like to meet other teens in the areas? Students in grades 7-12 are invited to come to the library for an hour of volunteering fun! Potential projects may include: prepping craft kits (cutting, sorting, assembling, etc.), cleaning books and shelves, organizing materials, and completing other projects for the library. No registration is necessary and you are welcome to drop in for part of the time if you cant stay the full hour!

Drop in and play with a selection of the library's toys. Explore new games, toys, and activities that are educational and fun while meeting other families. This program is for children with their caregivers.

Join us for Adaptive Storytime at the library, a program that nurtures the early literacy skills of children who have difficulty engaging during traditional storytimes or have neurodiverse symptoms. Adaptive Storytime can be individualized to meet a childs needs with flexible pacing, more interactive opportunities, and sensory play. Content is geared toward ages 3 - 7 years, but all ages are welcome, accompanied by a caregiver. Siblings are welcome, too.

Join us for Storytime at the Arlington Branch. We will sing, rhyme, read, and craft together. Your child will have so much fun they might not even realize they are learning important skills for future reading!
