Play games and make stuff at the library!

This weekly after school program is for youth between 5-12 years old (Gr K-7). Each month, we’ll rotate through different themed activities: arts and crafts, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), games, or a movie. Kids’ grown-ups are welcome—and encouraged–to participate too!

Mahalo to the Friends of Waimea Public Library for funding materials and supplies for maker activities and more!

Celebrate the holiday season at the Library!

Santa Claus will be spreading joy through a delightful 30-minute story session, sharing beloved holiday tales, and taking photos with keiki and their families. Use your own camera to capture the special moment with Santa! Keiki will receive a special gift, while supplies last.

Recommended for children ages 3 to 6, but all ages are welcome to this free event. All children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.

Families with young children are invited to read, sing, and play at the library!

For the first 30 minutes, children are welcome to drop in for open play with the library’s toy collection. For the second 30 minutes, the librarian will read aloud and sing songs (with help from the grown-ups!). Sometimes we do a simple craft or art activity at the end!

Please note that program content is targeted toward toddlers and preschool-aged children. However, younger and older siblings are welcome to attend too. All young children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.
