Youth Services and Programs in 2022

2022 was an eventful year at the Library. We planned; we packed; we moved. We resolved to strategize (we did) and pivot if necessary (it was) to remain a responsive and steady community resource throughout the changes. We also welcomed a new Library Manager for Children and Young Adults, Veronica Rivera-Negron, who has prepared an infographic to report on all the creative and hard work our youth services staff did to keep youth programs active during this transitionary period.

MLK Day of Service

The library will be closed Sunday, January 15th, and Monday, January 16th.

This is not a holiday for sitting at home drinking eggnog, it's for honoring Dr. King through your deeds.

Clean trails, donate items for children in need, or contribute your labor by helping assemble kits for people who need some assistance or a bit of joy.

You can find a project in need of volunteers here.

What is right around here?

The Long Branch Local Park cleanup will be Saturday the 14th. This is located near the intersection of Piney Branch and University. Outdoors, wear old clothes.

On the 16th, at the Silver Spring Civic Center, you can help assemble kits and other items for seniors, children experiencing homelessness, families in domestic violence shelters. Here is a list and, if you don't drive, the F4 and 17 buses will let you off there on Fenton Street. Students can pick up SSL hours, but people of all ages are welcome and needed.
