February Highlights

Winter Fun with the DNR!

It may be too cold for storytime outside, but that just means we bring the outdoors inside instead! Join us on Saturday, Feb. 4, at 10:30 a.m. at Wildwood Library as we welcome a DNR naturalist from William O'Brien State Park for a special Saturday morning for children and families. We will learn about how animals live in Minnesota's winter, have storytime, and even make a craft together! Learn more about Winter Fun with the DNR.

STEM Saturdays in February

Join us on Saturdays this month for exciting STEM programming. At the Wildwood and Hardwood Creek libraries, the Bakken Museum will lead interactive programs on electricity. The Park Grove Library will welcome 4-H to demonstrate science using candy. There's even more STEM programming happening at R.H. Stafford and Valley libraries too! Learn more about our STEM Saturdays.

Be Creative, Make Art

Winter can be dull and dreary, so be part of our February art programs to brighten it up! We have programs for all ages. Children can learn to make their own toys, while teens can learn to draw their own comics and construct homemade books. For adults, you can learn the basics of watercolor painting and explore 3D sculpture. Learn more about February art programs .
