Test your creativity - build a city or a spaceship or whatever you like at our free-build LEGO session.
Curious about light and shadows? Join us for a hands-on exploration where we’ll use flashlights, blocks, and everyday objects to investigate how light moves and changes. This program is all about discovery—there won’t be right or wrong answers, just fun experiments to spark your curiosity! Young scientists will make observations, form ideas, and test their predictions like real researchers. While this is a simple, self-guided exploration, staff will be there to encourage questions and discoveries. Perfect for kids ages 6-10 who love to explore and experiment!

Watch your favorite DC super heroes LEGO style as you build with the library’s LEGO. Attack of the Legion of Doom (not rated, 2015)
Learn the basics of binary code and create your own colorful bracelet that spells out your initials or a secret word—computer style! Participants will be introduced to how computers use 0s and 1s to represent information. Using a simple key, kids will convert letters into binary, then use two bead colors to represent 0s and 1s as they craft a wearable piece of code. A fun, hands-on way to combine STEM learning with creativity!
Spring is calling, and the garden is ready to rise and shine! Join us as we wake up the garden with planting, sign-making, and setting up support beams for the growing season. This hands-on program is part of our summer-long Children's Garden Club and is offered in partnership with Anchor Gardens—perfect for little gardeners eager to dig in and help the garden come alive.
