February at the Creswell Library Family Newsletter

Better late than never, right?

Sorry for the delayed newsletter! Please note that there is no after-school youth activity today, Thursday, 2/5.

Thursdays for Kids

We have three events this month for kids!

No event on 2/5.

2/12 at 3:30pm - LEGO Club

A bright banner for a LEGO club meeting every 2nd Thursday for ages 5-12, at 3:30 pm with colorful brick background.

Join us for LEGO building awesomeness! Each child who completes a project will get to put it on display in the library until the next LEGO Club.

2/19 at 3:30 pm - Full STEAM Ahead! - Marshmallow, toothpick, and spaghetti!

Full STEAM Ahead! Ages 5-11, 3:30 PM, every third Thursday with science, tech, engineering, art, math graphics.

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math! You can use some—or all—of these skills at our monthly STEAM events.

This month, we are building with different materials! Can you build a house? How about a bridge? How tall can you build a tower? But here's the catch: you can only use marshmallows, toothpicks, and spaghetti noodles!

2/26 at 3:30 pm - Friendship Bracelets

Come in and make a friendship bracelet with us during this fun and social craft! We will have all the tools you will need, including a nifty little wheel to make the whole process super easy!

Tuesdays for Kids

2/10 and 2/24 at 3:30 - Reading Buddies

Creswell Library Reading Buddies Club, 2nd & 4th Tuesdays, 3:30-4:30pm; features animals.

We’re teaming up with Blue Barn Sanctuary to bring you Reading Buddies! Come join us for a cozy reading time with stuffies and bunnies. Did you know that reading to animals (even stuffed ones!) helps kids feel relaxed and supported?

Each session will have plenty of cuddly stuffed animals to read to, helpful volunteers, and—on most days—Blue Barn’s own superstar, Theodore Von Tater Tot!

The image features the text "Storytime At the Creswell Library" in playful, green lettering.

PreK Storytime – Thursdays at 10:00am

Join us for fun books, songs, and rhymes!! This storytime is intended for children in preschool, but all kids and their families are welcome to join. We shoot for about 30 minutes of fun, but sometimes we go a little long and sometimes just a tad short. Afterward, we will all do a fun craft.

Babytime – Tuesdays at 10:00am

Join us on Tuesdays for songs, fingerplays, lap bounces, scarves, egg shakers, stories, and bubbles! This storytime is 20 minutes long so we can wrap up before the littles get too squirmy.

Book Clubs

Middle-Grade Book Club

Middle Grade Book Club (ages 10-13) meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 4pm and goes for about 45 minutes. It always includes a simple activity relating to the story.

If you are interested in joining a Book Club, please email lindsey@creswell-library.org.
