The recipes from Cook It Up are fun, easy, and give us a chance to cook and spend time together at home.
My son always looks forward to Chapter Chatters he loves the mix of book discussions and fun activities with friends.
My daughter had such a great time in the Canvas Creatives class! She was nervous at first since she doesn’t usually consider herself an artist, but the step-by-step instruction made it fun and easy to follow. By the end, she was so proud of her painting and couldn’t wait to show it off. I love that the library offers creative programs like this it gives kids a chance to try something new and build confidence in a supportive environment.
