There's no doubt that our local libraries always host amazing events every month for the families within our community, not to mention their regular storytimes and open play areas for hands-on learning while playing. This month as I was filling the calendar I felt like the libraries had an over abundance of spectacular family-friendly events and I compiled them into a quick access list for you. Most of these require registration or need a ticket that can only be picked up from the library. Take a swift look through the events and check often to make sure there's still space available. These fantastically fun events will fill up in a flash (wow, that was a tongue twister!). For more library events and storytimes see our full calendar of events HERE. Share with a friend and plan a mommy/kid library date!
