Enjoy a series of Halloween-themed paper crafting sessions!

All supplies and instructions will be provided. This program is most suitable for children in preschool and kindergarten.

Come play Dungeons and Dragons at the Claremont Branch! We will be playing every Tuesday from 4:15-5:45pm. All levels welcome. We will have all the materials you need, but feel free to bring your own if you would like! We have one dungeon master, but they would like to play at times, so if you are interested in DMing, come let us know! This club is open to rising 6th-12th graders. 

Join us to create your own costume for Halloween or Comic Con! Whether you’re working on a cosplay or just a fun costume, we have the supplies and space to help you build it.

Join us for musical and puppet fun with the Storytime Band starting off our extravaganza at 10AM at the Freight and Salvage, and Fratello Marionettes following afterward with their Spooktacular puppet show!
