Gnome Party! Grades K-5

November 20 | 3:30-4:30pm | The Hollow

Is it November or Gnomevember?! We like to celebrate it as Gnomevember, and the only way to do that is with a Gnome Party! Drawing from one of our favorite graphic novels, Gnome and Rat, we will be hosting a party complete with crafts, treats, a read-aloud, and more. Feel free to wear your best gnome outfit, and be ready to party!

Patsy reading

Wednesdays and Thursdays during the school year from 3:00-4:20. Registration required.

Come practice reading to one of our registered therapy dogs. Kids sign up for 20-minute sessions to read to a dog downstairs at the library. Each child chooses a book and how much reading and petting to do. Reading to the dogs increases enthusiasm for reading, develops reading skills, teaches children how to interact with pets and promotes confidence. Our dog handlers encourage interaction with their dogs and will offer help if needed. All dogs and handlers are registered therapy teams.
