Youth Services News [EXTERNAL] Summer Reading Programming

[Childrens Librarian]

This year we have Game and Fish coming out for a presentation. They bring
lots of specimens for the kids to look at and feel etc. We also will be
taking a trip to the new fire station in Moriarty which is directly across
the street from the library. They will get to walk around the station and
trucks etc. I booked explora for a family science workshop where they bring
a ton of exhibits for the kids to interact with.
Outside of special programs, I do 3 weekly programs.
Tuesdays are Builder's Club which is like a STEM program we build with
legos, popsicle sticks, toothpicks and marshmallows etc.
Wednesdays are Story-time and Craft- I do a Mother Goose on the Loose
storytime and a simple craft in house.
Thursdays are Teen Nights, I usually have snacks and a craft/activity and
sometimes a board game to play. We had 4H come out and do some activities
like macrame, last year and plan to have them out again this year.

Hope this helps.
