Join us virtually to discuss our latest read! Talk about the book of the month while you eat lunch.

In August we will be discussing The Glassmaker by Tracy Chevalier.

You'll meet fellow book lovers and have a great time!

For more information on how to attend the virtual book club, please contact us at cc@hcpl.net

Once a month, join us for a creative, low-pressure workshop where we explore the art of annotating books. Learn new techniques, share your own, and spend time marking up a book using supplies like tabs, pens, highlighters, and more. 

Each session includes a take-home annotation starter kit and a community-annotated book filled with thoughts, doodles, and reflections from fellow readers. 

It’s like a book club—without the meetings. Whether you jot notes, sketch scenes, or imagine your dream cast, this is your space to connect with stories in a whole new way.

Come get crafty at the Barbara Bush Branch Library on our Tween Craft Day!

Have some fun creating a different project each month. All materials will be provided.

This program is strictly for ages 8 to 12. If there are Littles in your group, please come to the Family Place play area to engage in age appropriate distractions while the siblings are crafting new creations.
Supplies are limited, so please pick up a ticket from the Children's staff prior to the program.

Join us at the Barbara Bush Branch Library for our special therapy dog reading sessions! We’re happy our furry best friends are back with us to help our struggling or shy readers gain confidence.

This program is recommended for ages 6 to 12. Tickets are available at the Children's desk 15 minutes before the start of the event. Capacity is limited, so please pick up a ticket before visiting with the best good boys.

Family Playdate Workshop

The Family Workshop is a six-week program intended for children, aged 5 years and under, and their caregivers. Caregivers and children gather in a room with passive toys that encourage creative play and learning. The sessions will also include a local child expert who will provide information and answer questions and concerns of caregivers on topics related to early child development.
