Youth Programs at the Calhoun County Library

            The Calhoun County Library is dedicated to our community and this week, we would like to highlight all of our children’s programs.

Every Wednesday, from 10:30 AM - 11 AM, a kind woman whom our community loves, Mother Goose (aka Mary Jo Springs), puts on a lively children’s program. Mother Goose on the Loose is a 30 minute program aimed for littles between the ages of 0 - 5 that focuses on dancing, singing, reading, and having fun. To end each program, Mother Goose always does everyone's favorite: blowing bubbles! The program consists of 10 activities that are repeated each week. This repetition allows our young attendees to follow a schedule and they can even tell us what’s coming up next in the program! Each little one who attends this event gets a free book as well!

If you can’t make it to the library during the week, come see us two Saturdays a month! Music & Movement takes place on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month from 11 AM - 11:30 AM. This program is all about dancing, moving, and getting our wiggles out with Celeste from Move with Celeste. With plenty of popular music and dancing props like tambourines and shakers, your little one will be busy jumping, running, clapping, singing, and yelling with excitement. This program is also aimed towards children between the ages of 0 - 5, but older children can enjoy the fun as well! We give away free books to each wiggly baby at this program, too.

We know the littles are having fun, but teens like hanging out at the library also. On the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month from 5 PM - 6:30 PM, we have an exclusive night for teens ages 12-17.Teen Night is all about keeping teens engaged and connected with their peers. We offer a wide range of activities, from movie nights and jewelry making to hands-on learning experiences like changing the oil in a car. Teen Night always includes a snack and a lot of fun!

All of these programs are free to attend and don’t require registration! We just love seeing all the smiling faces having fun, so come see us at the library!
