West End Library

We had a lot of fun at the West End Library during our summer reading programs: toddlers, children, “tweens”, and teens read some exciting books and earned fun prizes for their efforts. Now it is time to go back to school!

Visit the West End Library often to keep posted on special events and excursions.  Here’s what’s coming up next:

September is Library Card Sign-up Month! Parents, as you are getting your children ready for a new school year make sure they have library cards, too. It’s easy — and FREE! The card allows you to check out and return books and other materials at any of the three public libraries in Union County.

Reading Dog: Children won’t even realize they are practicing literacy skills when they read to a trained, certified therapy dog! Reading sessions last about 15 minutes and will be held from 2 to 3 p.m. on Sept. 18, Oct. 16, Nov. 20, and Dec. 18.

Children’s Monday afternoon Craft Programs are geared toward children in kindergarten through fourth grade and will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. Sept. 20 through Dec. 13. Please register so that enough materials will be available.

Preschool Story Times for children from birth to age five will be held on Tuesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 21 through Dec. 14. These fun and educational programs run about 45 minutes. Please register so that enough materials will be available.

‘Tweens & Teens Cool Crafts: Young people in grades 4 through 8 are invited to create cool crafts from 4 to 5 p.m. on Sept. 23, Oct. 28, Nov. 18, and Dec. 16.
