This fall, Fountaindale Public Library’s Children’s Department is the place to be! In addition to our Storytimes and usual programming, we are offering a new type of program: FAMILY EVENTS!

A Family Event is a program that is aimed at children but meant for children and their adults to participate in together. Join us at one of these unique, fun events for families. And remember to keep an eye out for more Family Events in the upcoming months!
