We invite you to check out this month’s PPL Youth Services recommendations for activities, resources and new books in the library collection for children up to five years old and their families.
Join us on Monday, Aug. 7, at 10:30 a.m. in the library’s first-floor Community Room for our Preschool Drive-In! Children 2-5 years old and their adult caregivers will decorate their own cardboard car, park it and settle in to watch a 10-minute movie. Please bring your own cardboard box. All other materials for decorating the car will be provided. An adult must stay with their child throughout this program. Registration is required for each child attending.
Celebrate the wrap-up of Summer Reading 2023 on Tues., Aug. 15, with face painting, games, activities and giveaways on the lawn at Princeton Shopping Center (weather permitting). The family-friendly fun begins at 6 p.m., with New Jersey’s Bubble Man presenting his popular bubble show at 6:30 p.m. The celebration ends at 8 p.m.
