Accompanying Adults

This program is designed for children and accompanying adults. Please plan to attend and be engaged with your child in this program. Drop-offs will not be permitted.

Age Groups

Age ranges are selected with great care. A young child unable to participate in an activity without assistance takes the staff member's attention away from the rest of the group and can impact the experience of the other participants. We also strive to create micro-communities with each program we offer by creating a space for young people to be with their peers. We ask that you respect the age groups in the program descriptions.

Library Membership Required

This program is exclusively available to library members during the initial registration period. Nonmembers are welcome to sign up for our special waitlist and will be notified if space becomes available after the member priority period ends. Consider becoming a library member today to guarantee early access to future programs!

Photo Permission

Event staff may take photos or videos during programs and activities. These images may be used for publicity, social media, websites, or other promotional materials. If you prefer not to have your photo used, please note that in the comments or inform a staff member, and we will honor your request.
