👉 Youth Lock-In #2: Our second lock-in for the year since the first one was so popular! Take a break from studying and join us at the library to chill out, eat some pizza, and play Nintendo Switch battles and quirky games with your friends.
👉 Rhyme Time & Car Seat Check: Join us at Rhyme time on the 18th with our special guest, Mel Suitor. Mel is qualified to check your car seats and ensure your little ones are safe. This is a free service being offered at the end of the Rhyme Time session.
👉Open Makerspace: Don't forget we have our Open Makerspace! Come be creative and try out our awesome equipment. You can get hands-on with cool tech like our laser cutters, 3D printer, sewing machines, and overlocker—or just use our craft supplies to work on your own fun projects!
