PAWS to Read with Bark Therapy Dogs – 1:30-2:30pm
New & practicing readers read to Natasha the dog. Reading to dogs can help increase kids’ reading confidence, skill and enjoyment.

Beautiful Mess – 3:00-4:30pm
What are we making? Whatever you want — and it’s going to be beautiful. And messy. This once-a-month afterschool art program allows kids to focus more on the process than the product, whether we’re using clay, watercolors, pencils or odds and ends. We might not know where this art project is going, but we’ll have lots of fun getting there. For children of all ages; children 5 and under should be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.

NOTE: On APRIL 13, we will be making collage/paper art that kids can enter into the Unbound Book Art & Craft Contest. For more information on the contest, see https://montclairlibrary.wordpress.com/unbound/

This workshop takes the place of our weekly Baby Bounce for March 10 only.
