Join Jennifer Delozier, MEd. for a 6-week series of workshops. We will experiment with stories, poems, letters, songs, or illustrations (and sharing your writing is always optional). Writing can be fun or serious, or a little bit of both — you’re in charge of what you create! Space is limited, so registration is required. Call 529-1605 or email youthdept@ewmlibrary.org to sign up.

Janet from VWMA returns to share with kids the basics of martial arts.

A great introduction for any kids thinking about starting ongoing lessons. Ages 5-11.

Lois is back with more awesome art projects! Join her each Tuesday during the Summer Reading Program to explore your creative side with open-ended art projects based around building! Recommended for ages 5-12.

Ms. Lynne returns this summer for her last ever Story Hours at the Library! Join us for some rockin’ tales, followed, as always, by snack and a fun craft. Recommended for ages 5 & under.

Join Moira for our first challenge of the summer to test your engineering acumen. Use our resources to try building different types of paper airplanes, and see whose comes out on top in a variety of categories! Recommended for ages 6-12.
