Jr. Scholars: Earth Day 2024
April 22nd marks the 24th anniversary of Earth Day! It was created in 1970 to bring awareness about all of the pollution that was going into the air, ocean, and ground. Because of that, laws were put into place to cut back on a lot of the pollution. But there's still a lot more that needs to be done! This year's Earth Day theme is "Planet vs. Plastics." Below are books and activities that will help you learn about the importance of keeping Earth's air, ground, and water clean. Even changing ONE habit makes an impact, and kids are part of this effort—it's EVERYONE's home. To learn even more, join us this month for a program or two!
Jr. Scholars: Women's History 2024
The Library has an AMAZING collection of books featuring stories and information written by and about people from varied backgrounds, races, ethnicities, life experiences, and viewpoints. We love to share selections that demonstrate the range of our collection all year and we encourage you to explore these books with us!
Junior Scholars: Black History Month 2024
This month, we are highlighting activities and books in our collection by and about people in the African-American community. Check these out below and join us at one of our programs, which feature information and stories in celebration of African American History Month.
Junior Scholars: Try Something New
It's the beginning of a new year! A new year brings opportunities—it excites me to try new things. Hopefully, you will also be inspired to break out of your routine and try something new, such as a hobby or activity, a food you've never tried, or a type of book you wouldn't usually read. There are some activities and books for you to explore below to help you find something new to try, and if you haven't joined us for a program before (or if it's been a while since you have), we hope to see you soon!
Junior Scholars: Sweets and Candies
I don't know about you, but I sure enjoy a good fairy tale after dinner! December is a really sweet month for those who enjoy a yummy dessert!
