Day Calendar

Sunshine storytime is back! Children and their caregivers can join Miss Sam on the library lawn for stories, songs, and activities! 

In the case of inclement weather, this storytime will move indoors to the meeting room.

Calling all makers! Can you complete our weekly challenge to build, play, or create?  Each week we will have a different activity set up in the children's area and finishers can claim a prize.

The whole family can come to Colby Park at 10:15 AM for this special outdoor Family Storytime.  Bring your own blanket or chairs and join us for stories, songs, and rhymes in the great outdoors.

Fresh Conversations is a social opportunity to connect with other older adults for a friendly discussion focused on nutrition and physical activity education.

The Des Moines Public Library is partnering with area organizations to connect people with community resources. Community advocates will provide information about community resources like meal sites and shelters.

Join Sam for a discussion of The Smartest Kid in the Universe by Chris Grabenstein. We'll also make a craft and have some fun with jellybeans!

Set the sus' scene at Forest Avenue Library!  We will be building and painting our own mini dioramas showing a happy crew or a villainous imposter.  Use 3-d printed crewmates to stage your game!  As supplies last!  Best for age
