Thursdays for Kids

We have four events this month for kids!

10/3 at 3:30pm - Board Game Adventure

A flyer for "Board Game Adventures" for kids 5-11, every 1st Thursday at 3:30pm, with pixelated game graphics.

Each month, come play cooperative and competitive board games! This is the perfect time to bring some friends and make new ones. There will be plenty of new games to choose from, but you can always bring your favorites from home.

10/10 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.

10/17 at 3:30pm – Full STEAM Ahead! - Make a Monster

Colorful graphic promoting a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) event for kids aged 5-11, every third Thursday at 3:30 PM.

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math! This month, we are making monsters using pool noodles, googly eyes, and more.

Crafts resembling monsters made from colorful cylinders, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, pom-poms, and paper for a playful, creative look.

10/24 at 3:30pm – Pumpkin Painting

Colorfully painted pumpkins with glitter, paint pots, and brushes on a table, suggesting a craft activity.

Bring the painters, and we'll bring the pumpkins! We will have trays for you to safely get them home.

PreK Storytime - Thursdays at 10:00am in the Creswell Library

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 in the Creswell Library

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 littlest get too squirmy.

October Reads for September Book Club

Middle-Grade Book Club

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

We will meet at the library on 10/1 at 4pm to chat about "Eddie Red Undercover: Mystery on Museum Mile".

Our next book is "Lowriders in Space" by Cathy Camper. We will talk about this graphic novel on 11/4 at 4:00pm. Here is a quick blurb about this book from the publisher.

Illustrated book cover, "Lowriders in Space," with anthropomorphic characters in a car among stars and planets.

"Lupe Impala, El Chavo Flapjack, and Elirio Malaria love working with cars. You name it, they can fix it. But the team's favorite cars of all are lowriders—cars that hip and hop, dip and drop, go low and slow, bajito y suavecito. The stars align when a contest for the best car around offers a prize of a trunkful of cash—just what the team needs to open their own shop! ¡Ay chihuahua! What will it take to transform a junker into the best car in the universe? Striking, unparalleled art from debut illustrator Raul the Third recalls ballpoint-pen-and-Sharpie desk-drawn doodles, while the story is sketched with Spanish, inked with science facts, and colored with true friendship. With a glossary at the back to provide definitions for Spanish and science terms, this delightful book will educate and entertain in equal measure."
