ALL programs will require pre-registration for on-site participation. ALL programs will be filmed and posted to our Quechee Library YouTube channel the following morning. Children wishing to participate virtually can call ahead of time to request materials needed for any craft or activity for a specific program that week.

Quechee Library Programs:

Tues July 21: Dracula: The lore of vampires is based on historical observations of dead bodies….. We’ll talk arteries, blood types and real-life (animal ) vampires. ‘Sink your teeth’ into making a  blood model!

Tues July 28: Interactive storytelling with Jools Skeet. Help Jools weave a unique story through audience participation. Even virtually you’ll be able to grab something out of her bag of tricks! At the conclusion of the program you will be able to pick up a ‘grab ‘n go’ bag of crafts for August. Let us know your age when you pre-register and we will make sure the bag is filled with appropriate crafts!

Hey, we have a pick up bin at both libraries so everyone can keep reading.   We have now reopened, but if you prefer curbside pick up, just ask us to put some books into the tub, marked especially for you.  Send us an email or reserve this way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7eTFcTr84c
