School Age Programs
Book Worms, Monday, April 27 from 4:30 – 5:15 pm
For kids in Grades 2+ 3 who dig books! A book club for kids reading chapter books who want to explore new titles in a small-group setting. Book Worms is a reverse-format book club for readers in grades 2 and 3 who want to sample chapter books and speculate wildly about how it will all end! In a reverse-format book club readers *do not* need to read the book in advance. We will read the beginning of multiple books together, take turns guessing what happens next, and then each child will check out and take home the book they are most interested in finishing on their own. Each month's book selections are chosen based around a genre or theme so kids can know before they arrive what kind of books we'll be sampling. If you've got a little reader with big opinions, this club is for them!
K-3 Crafternoon, Thursday, April 16, and May 14 from 3:45 – 4:30 pm
Stories + Crafts! Children in kindergarten through third grade are invited to join Ms. Erica for a storytime and craft! Caregivers are asked to remain on-site and join in the fun.

The club will take place from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the following days: April 8th and May 13th. Parents are required to stay with children for the duration of the program.
