We host a quintet of clubs for kids at our Main Branch! Their interests range from history to art to travel, and they’re all free to join.
The Book-to-Movie Club celebrates classic children’s books and the movies they inspire. Each month, they read a section from the book, watch a snippet of the film, and enjoy related activities. January’s book is The Bad Guys by Aaron Blabey. Their next meeting is 4 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 5. It’s open to kids from ages eight to 12.
The Fine Arts Club uses history and hands-on experiences to explore different art forms and styles. The children in this culture club have tried everything from ballet to graffiti. In January, we’ll experiment with watercolor painting. The meeting is 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 6. It’s open to kids from ages seven to 12.
Our Travel Club celebrates a different state each month. Every month, the kids (ages six to 12) enjoy crafts, activities and a snack inspired by a certain state. They’ll also collect a pin from that state. In January, we’re traveling to California! The next meeting is at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 7.
Our new The Story of America Club celebrates our nation’s history — just in time for the United States’ 250th birthday! Kids (ages seven to 12) will explore a different chapter in the USA’s history each month with crafts, activities, and a snack that relates to that era. The first meeting is 4 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 8.
Finally, the American Girl and America series explores 250 years of American history through the American Girl dolls. Each month, the club will celebrate a different American Girl and discover a different moment in American history. The programs are for kids (ages eight to 12) and they are welcome to bring their dolls with them. In January, we’re traveling back to the Revolutionary War with Felicity and Elizabeth.
All of these clubs are free to join. Due to limited space, registration is required. You can register using the clubs’ hyperlinks above or call us at 440-255-8811 ext. 3.
