Pokemon Club
Is there a Pokemon obsessed kid in your family? They'll love our safe, supervised, and fun meetup!
Join us at the library to connect with other kids who love trading cards, playing the game, and discussing all their favorite creatures. It's a great way to build social skills and community!
Our next club will meet Monday, August 31 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm. You can drop in or stay the whole time. Other Pokemon themed activities will be available. Trading or battling is never required. We are going to try to meet on the last Monday of each month and we'd love for you to join us!
Teen (& Tween) Events
Programs for youth in grades 6-12 are held once per month on a Thursday evening throughout the school year. For more info on the upcoming Teen programs, check out our Teen page!

We will be happy to visit any Juniata County school, daycare facility, or Head Start class. We can provide story times, songs, crafts, book talks, and more. We can also arrange for your students to tour the library as well as give talks on how to use the library to its full potential.
