Don't miss the Danbury Library Summer Kick Off on June 20.

Kick off the summer at Danbury Public Library with a high-energy, drop-in celebration inspired by the characters and worlds kids love.

Families can jump into a Pokémon scavenger hunt, create their own Pokémon characters, design mosaic-style Minecraft swords, and sculpt their own dinosaurs.

From gaming adventures to hands-on art and immersive sensory play, every station invites children to dig deeper—unearthing the stories behind their favorite fandoms while discovering stories of their own.

Drop in and join the fun, and let the summer adventures begin.

Registration recommended for program updates. https://danburylibrary.events.mylibrary.digital/event?id=285553

For families and children of all ages.
