Junior Scholars: Spring

Junior Scholars Library Academy

The air is getting warmer, trees and flowers are budding, animals and birds are more active, and the days are getting longer...these are all signs that spring is here. The spring equinox marks when the Earth is tilted more toward the sun, which is why we get more and more daylight each day. I'm sure you're feeling a little more energetic, too! Explore the spring-themed books and activities below, and join us at some of our programs to put a little more spring in your step!
