Drop-in and join us for some fairy fun! We'll learn about fairies with a story and then build fairy houses outdoors in the library's reading garden.

Learn about fairies with a story and then build your own fairy house in our "fairy village" in the Peggy Kane reading garden using natural materials provided.

This is an on site activity, not a take home project.  In the event of inclement weather, story time will move inside, but fairy house building will still happen outside unless there is a severe weather forecast. 

Please dress appropriately for the weather.  Materials will remain outside all day for building as long as supplies last.

Best for ages 3+
