*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.

Run Run Rudolph - December Reading Challenge

Keep track of how many days your child reads (or is read to) throughout the month of December.  Print this image or pick up a sheet at the library.  Return the sheet between Jan 2-9, 2026 and pick a small prize from the treasure box.  This challenge is for any age youth.  Let's get reading!

Saturday Family Programs

Join us one Saturday per month for a drop-in family program.

Next up: Pokemon  |  December 13, 10:00 am - 12 pm

Is your elementary age child obsessed with Pokémon? 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!

Drop in anytime between 10 am - 12 pm or stay the whole time.  Other Pokemon themed activities will be available. Trading or battling is not required.

Read to Millee!

Our monthly Read to a Dog program is back!  This month's event will take place on Monday, December 29th 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
