Winter Recess Thursday, Feb. 18

Published on 02/18/21

The forecasters are forecasting a balmy 16 degrees F for 11 a.m. AND it’s a gorgeous sunny day! So we’ll brave it, have a short(ish) story and then we’ll find out how cold it has to be for bubbles to freeze. After that, the shovels and scoops and molds will be out for those who want to stay warm playing in the snow that finally arrived! Hope to see you (dress warm)! Two girls playing in snow

Get out of the house!

Winter Recess continues this week and we’re ready with activities no matter what weather Mother Nature throws at us. And it’s c-c-cold today so dress warm! Join us in the Library’s Back Yard (east side of the Library) at 11 a.m. on Thursdays.
