The Children's Room at
The Ansonia Library

August Programs 

Summer may be winding down, but the fun isn’t over yet! As we get ready to head back to school, join us for a month packed with exciting adventures at the library. Hop aboard for Storytime on a Bus, get creative at LEGO Club, and don’t miss our 129th Library Birthday Party—there’ll be plenty of festive fun! Plus, swing by to pick up a Take & Make Paper Taco Kit inspired by the hilarious book Dragons Love Tacos. It’s the perfect way to end summer with a smile!

September Programs 

The school buses are rumbling, backpacks are zipped, and the air smells faintly of freshly sharpened pencils, and nobody is more excited about the new school year than Sprocket (as you can see), because that means classroom visits are right around the corner! Now that the big kids are off riding the school bus, the Children’s Room is ready to party with the littles! We’re jumping back into our weekly storytimes, bending and stretching in our twice-a-month yoga classes, and, of course, shaking out every last wiggle with Ms. Judy and her piano. Get ready for stories, songs, stretches, and building memories with your littles! Once everyone settles back into the school routine, our weekends and evenings will be packed with exciting events for the big kids. While we are all thinking about back to school, don't forget that Halloween is just around the corner! When you’re digging through your costume stash and thinking about letting some go, consider donating them anytime this month to our very first upcoming costume swap!  Oh, and lastly.... a big splashy update: Sprocket and I will be traveling all the way to California this month to talk about the Blue Whales Project grant at the Association of Science and Technology Centers Conference. Don’t worry, we're not riding a whale there (airplanes are much faster), and the Children’s Room will be full of opportunities for fun while we are away! As The Happenings🎵 sang, "See you in September!"🎵
