Family Trivia
Wednesday, April 20, 4:00 pm
Compete against other families answering trivia questions about books, history, science, pop culture, and more! The winning team will win a movie night bundle complete with popcorn, candy, and RedBox codes.
We will be using the platform Kahoot, which requires you to have a smartphone or other device that can connect to the internet so you may answer the questions. Each family only needs one device to compete.
Teams can be no more than five people. If you have a larger family, please divide into groups of five or less. If you have less than five people, you can invite friends to fill out your team. Each team must include at least one child or teen. Teen siblings are welcome to compete without an adult.
Registration Required. Open to families and teens.

Upcycled T-Shirt Bags
Friday, April 22, 3:30 pm
Join us on Earth Day to learn how to turn your old t-shirts into a cloth reusable bag. No sewing required! This is the perfect opportunity to give new life to a barely worn or well loved (but not wearable) shirt.
Participants are asked to bring their own shirt to use for this craft. Having a hard time getting a hold of a shirt? Let a library staff member know and we will see what we can do to help.
No registration required. Ages 11 - 18
