To ensure a pleasant experience for everyone, we kindly request that children adhere to library rules during these events. Parents are encouraged to step out of the room with any restless little ones.
Photos will be taken during the live events to share on our social media. If you prefer not to have your child’s photo taken, please speak to a library staff member.
