Saturday is for Family Time! 

This is an open play time for babies, toddlers and their families. Children and their caregivers can explore and play with our collection of age appropriate toys and games.

Walking toddlers ages 12 months to preschoolers under 4 can join Miss Sue's circle of friends for stories, songs and general silliness. Caregiver participation is critical for success in this lively celebration of early literacy skills.

GRADES 6 - 12

TAB is putting together our first program: a Gingerbread House Decorating event! Do you have ideas about how this event should run? Do you love holiday baking? Join us as we iron out the details for this upcoming December program!

A TAB is a group of teen volunteers who meet once a month to plan programs, events, and recommend titles or other materials for the library's YA collection. It's a great chance for teenagers to make a difference in their community while earning volunteer hours and developing leadership skills!

Any Monroe Free Library Cardholder in grades 6-12 may attend. If you are not a current volunteer, you will have to fill out our volunteer paperwork at the start of the meeting.

(Registration begins for all Teen programs on the 25th of the previous month.)
