Explore the cosmos from the comfort of your local library! Through crafts, experiments, presentations and more, we will learn about the vast universe we inhabit. Expand your knowledge and hang out with fellow outer-space lovers.

[Ages 5-13] Make artistic "cat castles" from cardboard boxes. Be creative and make homes fit for the queen or king felines in your life. (*Disclaimer: you do not have to own a cat to participate in this program)

[For ages 5-14.] Come build your cat (or other small pet) a fun castle! We will use cardboard, duct tape, and tools from our Make-Do kit. All supplies provided. We can't wait to see your pet's new abode!
