Be a Black Earth Creek Hero!
Join experts from the Black Earth Creek Watershed Association to learn all about the creek, what lives in the creek, and what we can do to be good stewards of this very valuable resource. It's a day off from school, so here's a way to get your feet wet with something fun and informative. Please give Catherine a quick call at 608-798-3886, to let us know you will be joining us. This program is excellent for all school-aged kids and their grown-ups.

Stop at the Fall Festival on your day off of school! We'll have pumpkin carving and painting, a scavenger hunt in the Halloween display outside, and lots of carnival games for you to try your hand at. The Lions will also have a stand set up with cider and cocoa to keep the fall chill away.

Stop in after school to engineer and build your own creations using a different material every week. We'll build with Legos, Knex, blocks, packing peanuts, and more! No registration is required for this program—drop in when you can.
Immerse yourself in different experiences by playing VR video games using the library's headset.
