It’s a half-day for Easthampton Public Schools, join us and Easthampton Public Health Nurse, Chris Southworth, for some cozy craft time making things with paper hearts! We’ll start with a short storytime and then dig into making.
Between 10am-2pm when you come to the library you can also participate in a winter scavenger hunt, special crafts, and more, all led by our Teen Volunteers! Drop-in anytime in that window.
Join us for an Expressive Arts activity led by Gina Krosoczka! Through creativity and crafts, children will learn new coping skills. This hour-long program will consist of read-aloud, social-emotional activities, and an art project to empower children to move through today’s world more easily. This whole-brain workshop—engaging sound, movement, and visuals—gives children a toolbox with opportunities and ways to cope with today’s everyday challenges. Recommended for school aged children first grade and up. Registration is suggested, stop by the library, give us a call at 413-527-1031, or send us an email at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.
Come be a part of our teen advisory group! Come and share ideas about what programs the library could have and what we could buy for our collection. And then stay for a workshop making wallets out of duct tape! Ages 12+
