We’ll read a story, sing songs, and maybe even do a simple craft -just like our morning Story Time, but with a bedtime twist! Pajamas, stuffies, and blankets welcome.

Join us for our Crafter’s Group on Sunday, May 4 and Sunday, May 18 from 1-3pm. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect, share ideas, and work on a craft project. This group meets the first and third Sunday of the month. Try a challenge or free build during Lego Club, which meets the second and fourth Sunday of the month from 1-3pm. Lego Club will be on Sunday, May 11 and Sunday, May 25. All ages are welcome. Continue reading to hear the latest news and events from the West Buxton Public Library.
