Unearth a story while we read some fun stories and make a craft

Come on a dinosaur safari with us! We are going to explore the library and hunt for different dinosaurs! 

Dinosaurs make everything more fun! Still life compositions have been a popular art form since ancient times. Yet, how many bowls, fruits, and plants can you draw before it feels a bit boring. What if we added dinosaurs? Come draw the calamity that might befall the fruit with a tiny t-Rex or a Brachiosaurus near a bowl of berries. Pencils and paper will be provided. 

This is a club for all those who love Magic the Gathering! Bring your own Magic the Gathering commander format* deck to battle and destroy your friends and strangers! The Commander format is all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity and unique abilities. The deck must have 100 cards, including your commander and power level 8 and under decks recommended. Time to devour your enemies! 

Children aged 0-6 and their caregivers are invited to learn and play together in the East Hills Storytime Room with the early literacy toy collection. In addition, we will sing songs and fingerplays featuring rhythm instruments, ribbon wands, scarves and/or shakers.
