Winter Events for Children
 A new round of fun programs at your library!

Please Note:
Parents or guardians must remain in the library building while their children are attending programs.
Registration for programs begins two weeks prior to the event date; registration is appreciated at all
 programs because it lets us plan for the right number of children. Registration is required for 4:30 Funtimes.
Chesterfield Township residents are given registration priority during the first 48 hours for 4:30 Funtimes.
Drop-ins are also welcome at storytimes and special programs.
