Play outside in the Library Garden with us! We'll have a variety of activities to explore, such as art, games, water fun, and more. All ages welcome.
Register in person, online, or by phone at 330.643.9050.
Weather permitting, we will meet outside in the Library Amphitheater area. In inclement weather, all activities will move inside to the Children's Programming Room. Dress to get wet and messy.
