"Take Your Child to the Library Day" on February 6

Children of all ages and their families are invited to visit the library and enjoy a fun-filled day of activities while learning about library resources and programs. Whether it’s your child’s first visit to the library or their 1000th, “Take Your Child to the Library Day” is a wonderful way to celebrate literacy, learning, and community.
Begin this special day at the Cos Cob Library with a Mad Science performance of Spin, Pop, Boom, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Community room. Come learn about crazy chemical reactions and the greatness of gravity. Some brave volunteers will be asked to help activate an erupting foam volcano.
Then from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., the Friends of Cos Cob Library will host their “Annual Valentine Workshop.” All the supplies you need to make beautiful cards will be provided – let your creative juices flow. Make cards for your family, plus one extra-special card for a resident of Nathaniel Witherell. Call 203-622-6883 for more information.
Byram Shubert Library will offer “A Book and a Slice” at 12 p.m. Come read your favorite book and enjoy a slice of pizza. Call 203-531-0462 for more information.
The main library will present Sciencetellers from 1 to 2 p.m. in the Cole Auditorium. Sciencetellers combines storytelling and exciting science experiments into an unprecedented theatrical learning experience. Get ready for interactive and explosive experiments with dry ice, fog, smoke-filled bubbles, flying rockets and more. Enjoy this spectacular adventure and be swept away to a world where dragons are real and dreams come true. Recommended for ages four and up; no tickets required. Doors open at 12:45 p.m.
