Week Calendar

Storytime includes few stories, songs, and movement activities all about trains, followed by a chance to play with imaginative toys, like our doll house, castle, and kitchen set.

Enjoy stories and interesting facts about these unique animals that you will have a chance to meet: an axolotl, hedgehog, and frilled gecko, with naturalist Kim White. This program is free and geared toward the storytime crowd; families welcome.

Join us for an Art Appreciation program focused on Des Moines Art Center Architecture and Modern and Contemporary Artworks.

Library staff will take half hour appointments to answer questions or assist with personal devices. Appointments will be available every Thursday from 2:00pm - 4:00pm.

Learn about biomimicry with naturalist Kim White, especially highlighting more information about the animal guests, an axoltl, hedgehog, and frilled gecko. This presentation is geared toward adults (interested teens/tweens welcome).

Play Day in the Blue Activity room offers kids the chance for imaginative play with the castle, kitchen set, dollhouse, big legos, playsets, and more. Stop in for unplugged fun.

Youth ages 8 and older are invited to stop by the large meeting room to connect with other Pokémon fans. Battle with others (or learn how to play, if needed), trading permitted (with coordinator approval).
