Spring Break at the Library!

Next week is Spring Break for many of our schools in North Central Washington. We invite you to visit the library! Our branch locations will be offering a range of passive and active opportunities — both at the library and in community locations. 

In addition to passive games and crafts that are available at most of our libraries, some are offering guided, in-person, FREE programs next week, including: 

• Brewster: Take a hike! Librarian Daniel will lead a three-mile hike on the Indian Dan Canyon Trail from 3-5 p.m. Monday. Meet at the trailhead — and don’t forget a Washington State Discover Pass for parking (which are available for checkout from the library). Learn more here.
• Bridgeport: Make a bird feeder at the library on Thursday 3-5 p.m. Surprise science experiment.
• Entiat: Outdoor story time relaunch party. Stories, songs and play in the outdoor space behind the library. 11 a.m. Wednesday.
• Grand Coulee: Shibori indigo Dyeing. Make a custom tea towel using an ancient form of Japanese resist dyeing. All supplies provided. 3-5 p.m. Friday. 
• Okanogan: Stained glass painting. Thursday 3-5 p.m. All ages. 
• Omak: Rock painting in the park! We’ll provide the rocks and paint — you supply the imagination! Come paint a rock for spring. 3-5 p.m. Wednesday at Civic League Park next to the library. 
• Pateros: Screen printing. We’ll provide fabric or bring your own cotton t-shirt and screen-print your own unique design in this free program for elementary through teen ages. 3 to 4 p.m. Tuesday. Register here. 
• Wenatchee: Story time in the park for babies, toddlers and preschoolers offers a half-hour of stories, songs, rhyming and fun in Memorial Park next to the library. 10:30 to 11 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday.

You can also visit our bookmobiles next week as they make community stops in Chesaw (9:30 a.m. Monday), Loomis (1 p.m. Monday), Wilson Creek (12:45 p.m. Tuesday), Aeneas Valley (2 p.m. Wednesday) and Orient (10:30 a.m. Wednesday).

Spring Break coincides with National Library Week. So come see what your community library has to offer!
