​​​​​​There's always something fun at the library on Wednesdays! For summer 2022, we're keeping our Wednesdays at 1:30 program hopping with fun STEAM activities best for kids 4-11 years old. Caregivers must accompany children 5 and under to help with projects. We'll have a program every Wednesday in June and July.
