When my children were younger, I always looked forward to attending library storytimes. They provided a chance to get out of the house, especially during the chilly months. Now that my kids have grown a bit, I'm so happy that there are still fantastic programs available for them. We're incredibly fortunate here in the Erie region to have access to such high-quality and engaging offerings at our local public libraries.
The Erie County Public Library system boasts five branches, including Blasco, Millcreek, Edinboro, Lincoln, and Iroquois, each of which hosts a diverse array of events and classes tailored to children and families. What's even better? All of these resources are entirely free! Keep an eye out for any pre-registration requirements that some programs may have.
Here is a selection of 5 of these coming week's events, each from a different branch... but this is just the start! Visit our calendar to find storytimes and other special events happening at our libraries nearly every day of the week.
