Library Edition! All my activity picks are happening at libraries this week. They are all FREE! I have chosen to highlight libraries this week because many people, including myself, tend to overlook all of the delights libraries have to offer. Libraries all over the state are offering free programs every week. Many of the programs offered are for younger children, but there are a bunch of activities for older children and teens as well.
