Create, play, love! Celebrate this month with your littlest valentine. Register online, in person, or by phone at 330-643-9050.

Children learn through play, and we like to play in the Children's Library! Hands-on, age-appropriate, creative play, STEAM experiences, and materials will be available for young children and their families. Explore, make friends, share stories, create, and play with us. The program is designed for children 2 to 5 years old with an adult caregiver, but all are welcome.

Contact the Children's Library & Teen Division at 330.643.9050 or cldiv@akronlibrary.org for more information.
