This program pairs trained and certified therapy dogs with children in Grades K-5 who want to practice reading aloud.

There will be 4 time slots available for kids to meet and read to a pup in the Children's Department:

Toddlers are always on the go! Come to story time to encourage their emerging skills with books, rhymes, music, and lots of movement activities.

This inclusive story time offers stories, songs, and sensory-focused activities for children of all ages and abilities! After story time, stay for sensory play and socialization.

This Dungeons & Dragons experience for kids in grades 3-5 will include a simplified, rules-light adventure.

Join us for Lego Construction, and have your picture taken with your creation. The challenge is to build whatever you want!

While adventuring in the bustling city of Sharn, your party is drawn into a tangled web of intrigue and danger.
