Everyone knows the is a great summer destination for young kids, with story times, movies, game days and special events like Mad Science. But did you know the library has tons of cool events planned this summer for tweens and teenagers, too?

The newest addition to our program calendar, Crafternoons, has been a huge hit with kids in grades 4 and up. We’ll continue the fun throughout the summer months with four cool events for this age group: treasure box decorating, make-your-own ice cream, a balloon animal workshop, and create your own scratch art. Space is limited in each program and advance registration is required. Registration begins Monday, June 4. Visit the library or call 856-234-0333, ext. 5 to register.

Teens entering grades 7 and up are invited to join in the fun of Crafternoons, as well as some special programs planned just for them. This year’s Teen Summer Reading program, with its “Own the Night” theme, promises plenty of thrills with trivia contests, a teen art wall featuring night-themed works by Moorestown’s talented teen artists, and raffles with a chance to win gift cards to iTunes, , the Cherry Hill Mall and more.
