Bring your stuffie for a sleepover they’ll always remember: crafts, stories, & more! When it’s time to go, you’ll tuck them in and say goodnight. Then, come back any time the following day to pick them up, and see what they were up to after the lights went out. Space is limited and registration is required. Recommended for ages 4-8. Younger and older siblings welcome.

Art Buffet is back! Join Katya and Lois to make spring-themed collages or use our materials to inspire the creation of your choice.

It’s a half-day for Easthampton Public Schools, so come to the library and have fun! We’re going to have a family storytime with some silly books about birds and then we’re going to paint our own (indoor, decorative) birdhouses! Geared for ages 4-8, younger and older siblings welcome to join. Registration encouraged so that we will have enough birdhouses. Stop by, email youthdept@ewmlibrary.org or call us at 413-527-1031.
