TRSD is having their vacation week and we’ve got activities for the young people in your life. Except for Mother Goose on the Loose, our typical preschool story times have been suspended to offer events for the grade school set that often doesn’t have a chance to come to the library. Please take a look below at what is happening and for what age groups. All classes require registration with the exception of Legos and PJ Peeps.
