This week pickup pieces to create a paper plate dinosaur and next week make a dinosaur pop-out of an egg.

Outlets are available for you to charge your devices as needed. There’s a little house (Little Free Library type) at The Friends Place which is home to some table games and chalk for you to use if you wish.
Our fall programming will begin soon. Are you interested in joining one of our Book Clubs? Each club meets once a month.
