If you’re in need of a little stress relief and relaxation, we invite you to be a part of the Coloring Club at your South Branch Library. Coloring is a great activity for all ages and there are many benefits that can come from taking some time to express yourself through art. We’ll supply the coloring sheets and tools so you can come out, color, socialize, and have a little fun at your library.

If you’re looking for some crafting fun, stop by your South Branch Library where we’ll be offering Take & Make kits featuring different craft activities each week while supplies last. Stop by from 10:00AM to 6:00PM and you can pick up your kit that has all of the materials and instructions you’ll need to then take home and make a fun craft to enjoy. Don’t miss out on this come and go activity at your library.

We love providing storytimes at your library! They’re a great way to introduce your kids to a host of wonderful books, and hopefully instill in them a love of reading and literature that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for something new though, something that will strengthen both your body and mind, check out our new Yoga Pajama Storytime! Come dressed in your best PJs and enjoy great bedtime stories, songs, and more, while learning and doing yoga poses too.

Your Mockingbird Branch is the place for kids to be on Friday afternoons as we host Friday Fun Day activities in our Activity Room. Each week will feature fun hands-on activities that youth can get involved in as a great way to kick off the weekend. This week we’ll be bringing out our LEGO and challenging you to some building fun. Bring those creative minds and hands to show us what you can build. Don’t miss out on all the fun!

Calling all teens ages 13-17. If you’re looking for an exclusive event to attend this Halloween, we hope you’ll join us for one amazing Halloween Party at the library! Hosted after the library has closed to the public, this bash will have food, a costume contest, party games, movies, crafts, and more. Although we’d prefer everyone be in the mood by coming out in costume, dressing up will not be required. We’ll close the doors for the evening at 6:00PM, so be sure to arrive before then, with a permission slip signed by your guardian. Rides should return to pick you up no later than 10:00PM. This event is again, just for teens ages 13-17; no parents or younger siblings allowed; however, all teens will be supervised by library staff throughout the program.

Held year-round, this storytime provides the opportunity for youth to listen to stories, join in fingerplays, sing, watch puppets, and engage in other visual presentations. This storytime is ideal for ages 3-6.

For toddlers who are ready for longer stories. Parents are encouraged to share this time with their children. There will be lots of music and movement to keep toddlers engaged and moving.
