Katelynn Lesage, Silvis Public Library, invites families to get their children involved in programming geared for all ages and demos some craft project examples that will be offered to participating children.

Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers can spend time with children their own age at Book Buddies Storytime, held every Saturday at 10am. Those that attend will enjoy interactive stories, finger plays, rhyme-time and more.

Craft Buddies Storytime, held on the first Saturday of the month, will be an art-focused gathering that includes a themed craft.

There is also Full S.T.E.A.M. Ahead offered on the third Saturday of each month at 2 p.m. Participants conduct science experiments, build things, and really use their brains.

And On the last Saturday of the month, LEGO Club offers kids the opportunity to let their imagination run wild and build whatever their heart desires out of LEGOs.

Teen Tuesdays are for teens and tweens with programming at 6:30 p.m. (on Tuesdays). Programming will include cooking classes, arts and crafts, karaoke parties, movie nights, jewelry making, and more.
