The Eldridge Branch is the headquarters for the Scott County Library System.
Dive into new stories each month that spark imagination and creativity in Kindergarten-2nd graders! We will read aloud stories from the Iowa Goldfinch Award booklist and then have some bookish fun. No registration required.
Come celebrate our Winter Reading Challenge by seeing a REAL owl from the Wapsi River EE Center! There will be crafts, activities, and more.
Sessions to see the owl presentation will be:
10:10-10:40 AM
10:50-11:20 AM
11:30 AM-12 PM
No registration required but limited space will result in waiting for the next session. We will have winter/arctic themed crafts and activities to enjoy while waiting for a session to have enough space!
This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Eldridge Branch.
