At this free art program for ages 3-6 the focus is on the process of making art rather than the finished product. Dress to get messy!

Your child is old enough to start kindergarten, are they ready? Are you?

You'll also receive a free backpack and school supplies. Registration is required.

Beat the heat and cool down with sweet treats at the library.
