Winter/Spring Children’s Programs
It’s getting colder and we have some fun events to help you ward off the winter blues! Our winter/spring children’s/family events include the annual Spring Egg Hunt, a couple of historical impersonators, an Impossible Day Leap Year Party, a puppet show, family painting, some special Saturday Storytimes, and multiple coding events.
Check out the Winter/Spring Children’s 2020 Trifold brochure for details or visit our online calendar for more information and to register for events.
Huge thanks to our sponsors, Lower Moreland Township*, the Friends of Huntingdon Valley Library**, and the Estate of Irene M. Reiter*** for making many of our programs possible.
