Even though our regularly scheduled preschool classes are on
break the last two weeks of December, there are many ways for you to use the
library—especially during vacation week! Consider
taking out a museum pass to one of the following: Currier Museum of Art,
Imajine That, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, John F. Kennedy Library and
Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Science, New England Aquarium, Peabody
Essex Museum, Seacoast Science Center, Strawbery Banke, or Zoo New
England. Reserve your passes online or
in person.
GAMETIME: Up to a bit of group fun? Join us for game hour,
from 4:30 – 5:30 on December 2nd, 9th, 16th, January 6th, 13th and 20th. For 6 weeks on Fridays, our conference room
will be the spot to go to enjoy a little competition with friends and
neighbors. Each week we will offer a
different team game of choice. For starters we will do a “grab it, guess it, pass
it game” using Electronic Catchphrase.
This is a team game that requires no previous experience. This is so quick and exciting that you’ll leave
wishing you had more time to play.
Other future
games may include: Scattergories, Yahtzee or Uno. Perhaps you have a game you would like to share
with the group or the group may like one particular game so much that they
prefers to play it again.
This is a
perfect time to meet up with other adults who enjoy some fun and challenge that
board games offer. This particular
series of games is for high school students and older.
*Please
register, as space is limited however a 6-week commitment is not required. Come
when you can! Let the games begin!

CREATIVE WORDS: Want
your child to express their creativity through art without all the mess in your
house? Are you interested in your child practicing their reading skills in
unique and engaging ways?
‘Creative
Words’ will reinforce key reading skills through arts and crafts. Your child
will be introduced to a variety of art mediums in three stations. Children aged
3 to 6 will love the fun themes each week and enjoy the ability to explore on
their own pace with a child-directed format.
Limited spots
are available. ‘Creative Words’ is restarting
in January on Thursdays. There are two
unique time slots—choose either 11:30am or 1:30pm. You’ll want to register your child right away
as to not miss out. You will stay on the
registration roster until April 20th.
