At Home Activities

Letter of the Week

From January 4th until June 19th, the Children’s Department is celebrating a different letter of the alphabet with a window display and a take-home letter craft. This early literacy initiative is designed to aid in the development of Alphabetic Knowledge and Letter Knowledge, the ability to name letters, distinguish letter shapes, and identify letter sounds. Letter of the Week also aims to promote the development of scissor skills and other fine motor skills!


Take and Make Crafts

Come to the library to grab a craft to take home and create! These crafts are prepackaged and available for pickup at the Children’s Desk during regular Library hours. One craft per child while supplies last.

  • January 4th: Foam Cup Snowman
  • January 18th: Snowy Owl
  • February 1st: Dog Heart Magnet
  • February 15th: Ninjas

Escape Room

The Wizard of Fairytale Kingdom has been captured and it’s your job to help him escape! This at-home escape room, provided by MobileQuest, can be done in the comfort of your own living room and is designed to be completed in approximately 60 minutes.  Clues vary in levels so everyone can be part of the action.
