What’s that sound? It must be FLY GUY!
Are you ready for Buzz, Fly Guy, and Tedd Arnold? Tedd Arnold is the famous children’s author of the book series Fly Guy. Our Aurora Public Library District will feature a special storytime on Tuesday, January 17th at 5:30 p.m.! Fly Guy stories, crafts, and activities as well as snacks will be “buzzing” around for the kids to enjoy.
The Dillsboro Branch will also be holding a special storytime on Thursday, January 19th at 4:30 p.m. featuring Fly Guy books. We look forward to having all kids help us celebrate Tedd Arnold and his famous Fly Guy books!
Whether you’re a future architect or you just like to get creative, our new LEGO Club is the place to be!
Building with Legos is an effective way to stimulate the brain while also having fun! Each month we will have a different theme for kids to build. Feel free to work together with friends or on your own.
We will be meeting at the Aurora Public Library on January 10th at 5:00 pm. Snacks, drinks, and LEGOs will be provided. The only thing you have to bring is your creativity! We can’t wait to see what you build.
