No registration is required for this program, so just come if you can. The play will be performed by middle school students who are part of the Traveling Players group this summer. You may have seen one of the group's distinctive purple buses parked behind the Library.

Board Games
We're hosting our second Board Game-O-Rama for kids ages 4-8 on Saturday, July 24 from 1-3 p.m. We'll be playing games like Jenga and Blokus, and kids will have a chance to sample different games. It's lots of fun, and a great way to try out some new games! Space is limited, so please register by going to: Event registration - Takoma Park Maryland Library
Campfire Time
It's time for our annual Summer Quest Campfire, which will be held at the Library on Monday, July 19 at 7 p.m. No -- we won't really be building a campfire! But we will be doing campfire-type activities. We'll start with a craft or two, then gather around our log-and-tissue-paper-fire to sing camp songs and hear some stories. Everyone will leave with the makings for s'mores. Because some of the stories might be scary, this event is aimed at children ages 5 up. Younger children are welcome with full adult supervision. To ensure we have enough craft materials and s'more makings, we are encouraging people to register by going to: Event registration - Takoma Park Maryland Library
