With everyone coming over for the holidays, it can be stressful making sure it all goes well.

You can find games based on favorite characters such as Bob the Builder and Sam from Green Eggs and Ham.

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.
