Valentine's Day is fast approaching! This week's Grab & Go craft is a make-your-own Valentine card. It's a great week to snuggle up with your kiddos, make a Valentine card, and read some Valentine's Day books. We have lots of books from which to choose! Order online, or give us a call, and we'll have them ready for you during Grab & Go hours. (Monday and Friday, 10 - 1, Tuesday and Thursday, 3 - 6.)

Let's ZOOM along the Polar Express this year with Miss Wendy, the conductor and even Santa! Sign up at suffield-library.org and indicate how many children will attend. A treat bag and Zoom link will be provided on Tuesday morning at curbside pickup.

Let's continue this great tradition... with a few changes! Please register only one family, not each child. Go to suffield-library.org to sign up.
