March Break: Carnival of Curiosity
Help us transform the Library into a carnival this March Break with games, experiments, challenges, shows, and more fairground fun!
Week-long Programs
Starting March 13, kids can enter the March Break Reading Contest for a chance to win an eReader! Pick up a log sheet at any branch or print one to get started.
Drop by the Makerspace from March 13-20 to create your very own zoetrope and bring animation to life! First invented in 1834, a zoetrope uses still images to give the illusion of motion.
From March 16-20, teens can join March Break: Amazing Race! Make your way to as many of the Library branches as you can, complete challenges, and earn ballots for the End of March Break Party.
