Limestone Township Library District Hosts Take Your Child to the Library Day

On Saturday, February 7, thousands of libraries across North America celebrate Take Your Child to the Library Day by offering free, fun, and fabulous activities for families.

Limestone Township Library District is joining the celebration by having a number of activities to celebrate our library and all it has to offer. Use our Legos during the Lego Free Build to create something out of your wildest imagination.

Take part in a scavenger hunt, find a cute coloring page, do a fun craft, and join story time in the gazebo at 1:00 PM. While you’re here, check out all the great things the library has to offer families, such as games, story bags, movies, and books!

If you’re looking for something special, ask a staff member to help you. If we don’t have it, we can always try to order it from another library.

You can also check out our Countdown to Spring Reading Challenge. On the Reading Challenge bookmark, you will find eleven different book suggestions. Read any five of these from February 1 through March 20 and you can be entered into a drawing for a raffle basket. The Reading Challenge is open to all ages.

Take Your Child to the Library Day is the perfect time to discover some library magic at Limestone Township Library District.

Find Summer Fun at Limestone Township Library District!

We have plenty of summer left. There’s time to play, explore, or read books that take us to a different worlds.

We have giant yard games such as Giant Connect Four, Large Tumbling Tower and big dice. We have binoculars to help you see far away, and a microscope to help you see things up close. Use our Bug Jug to collect bugs and see how they move and eat before releasing them back to the wild.

Grab one of our Discovery Boxes or SOAR bags for fun activities based on a singular theme such as magnets or bunnies.

Families can plan movie nights with our DVD collection or begin reading classic juvenile novels together. There is so much to spark the imagination at the library.
