After School Adventures happens each Monday at the library!  Stop by after school for a variety of fun activities: building challenges, mindfulness practice, puzzles and art projects.  Each week will be something different! 

Every week looks a little different- there will be activities such as crafting, painting, and gaming to name a few! This is a place to study, have a snack, visit with friends, and unwind.
