Do you love books and ballet? Join us for fun ballet stories, then learn to dance with students from the Findlay Academy of Ballet. Participants will also receive a take-home craft to make after the program.

Ages 4-8 with an adult caregiver. Please register all children. (Adult caregivers do not need to register.)

Do you love solving puzzles and cracking secret codes? Our at-home escape room kit contains puzzles and props to create a fun escape room in your own home. Kits can be picked up starting December 17th and are available in the Children's Department at the Main Library, at the Arlington branch, and on the Bookmobile while supplies last.

Need help building reading confidence? Or do you love reading as much as you love dogs? Beginning readers and students in kindergarten through twelfth grade are invited to drop in for reading practice with Gibbs, a licensed therapy dog, at the library each week. Participants will receive one-on-one time with Gibbs and his trainer as a way to work on reading strength and confidence while enjoying the company of a furry friend.

Join us for Baby Storytime at the library. We will sing, rhyme, read, and have fun with scarves and bells! This program is suggested for children up to 36 months of age with a caregiver. Older siblings are welcome, too.

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.

WE'RE SORRY, THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN CANCELED. Bring a teddy bear (or another favorite toy) to the library. Pediatrician Dr. Ailing Chen and her staff will give your toy a checkup and demonstrate what to expect at a doctors visit. While you wait, they'll be books, coloring, and other activities to do.

Children 8 and under should be accompanied by an adult.

Registration required. You only need to register once per family.
