The summer reading kickoff event recently hosted by the Warner Library was just the beginning of a season of programming to keep kids busy and learning.  

Mel Snow, Youth Program Director at the library, indicates that they have plenty of programming targeted at very young children, including Toddler Time, which is resuming after a hiatus in May. 

Snow notes that the library staff want people to feel welcome in their facilities. They try to encourage the space to allow socializing and building community. Adult Program Director Emily Dunham adds that it's also a great place to allow children to build social skills. 

The library is passionate about giving students hands-on learning experiences, and Snow points to her new youth art series. Kids will learn how to paint in the styles of famous artists throughout history. 

Snow explains that they will also have programming for teens this summer, like the Colorful Square Walking tour around the Clinton Square, which ends at Sweet Mae's for some free ice cream or snow cones. 

The Library has tons of events for kids and adults this summer, and you can find out more about the calendar by visiting vwarner.org or following the library on Facebook.
