*As always, parents or guardians are encouraged to stay and participate in our story time programs. Siblings, younger or older, are also welcome to attend if they do not distract from the program.
*To ensure that we provide enough craft supplies, please register your child. But don't worry, this doesn't commit you to attend every week and drop-ins are always welcome!
We have a family group on Facebook! We currently share library program information and other local children's activities.

Next up: Block Party | November 15, 10:30 am - 12 pm
Got a kid who loves to build? Bring them to the library for our Block Party! We’re unleashing mountains of LEGO, wooden blocks, Magnatiles, and other building materials. It’s a totally free, screen-free chance to build, imagine, and create amazing structures. All builders welcome!
Read to Millee!
Our monthly Read to a Dog program is back! This month's event will take place on Monday, November 24th from 5:00 - 7:00 pm.
Improve your reading skills by reading to Millie, a local therapy dog. School age children can sign up for a 15 minute time slot to read to or snuggle with Millie in a safe and comfortable environment at the Juniata County Library.
The Read to a Dog program will be held on the last Monday each month from 5-7 pm. Children should only register for one time slot to allow others to enjoy this fun program. Siblings can share a time slot or sign up for their own time. For more information, contact Jocinda at jrhinier@juniatalibrary
