It's almost September, and along with the new month I wanted to remind y'all about two new programs in the children's department!

Then Thursday, September 3rd at 10:00 am, we'll have our first Toddlers Move program. This is a music and movement program for independent walkers up to age six. Parents and kids can dance, play, and rock out.

Tonight's the night! Put on your detective hats and come join us to sift through evidence of all kinds with your team and find the mysterious murderer who did the dastardly deed! If you're a true crime afficionado this is the program for you. We've got cctv footage, witness statements, medical reports and more to help us find the culprit! We'll start at 5 pm, and you are welcome to join in late/leave early if need be. If we solve the first crime, I've got another on deck to solve! Water, snacks, and good company provided, just bring yourself!

Next week we take a trip in the wayback machine on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday at 3:30 pm we learn about games and toys in the colonial era. We'll have examples of toys to play with, and some toys to make ourselves.

On Thursday, we'll host a watch party for the pilot of the new Netflix-produced Little House on the Prairie. We'll also make paper bonnets and enjoy some old-timey snacks. This program will begin at 3:30 pm and run about an hour and a half.
