Come and enjoy some toys and games before the start of our outside family story time! This program is an outside event, and weather permitting. Please bring a camping chair or blanket to sit on our side lawn, and bring a rattle or noise making toy as well! In case of rain, we'll move our story time to the program room upstairs. Registration is required to account for supplies.

Who will win? Trick question, you do... when you build, play, and explore with either or both of our digital and analog activities designed for creative learning. Some will even send you home with an item you made yourself! This is a self-directed program.

August 4: Strawbees & Sphero

The letter of the day is S: Strawbees & Sphero! Use Strawbees to design intricate 3D structures, and maneuver Sphero, a remote-controlled robot, around with an app. Registration is required.

NTRLZINE is based on the DIY aesthetic of online magazines, to share creative works from our community as a scrapbook of our Summer Learning Program. This program is open to all ages and abilities. Each week, we will gather for brainstorming and creative sessions. Snacks and a variety of art supplies will be provided. Submissions will be compiled and published virtually at the end of the summer. Feel free to participate remotely, too! Take a photo and share your contributions with us on Facebook or send an email to: northerntiersrc@gmail.com.
