Monthly Programs

Art Club

Learn about great artists and illustrators from Claude Monet to Alma Thomas to Bob Ross. Explore their most famous works, see how they created them, and make your own masterpiece using the same style. Each month we also create a collaborative art piece to display in the library. We may use paint, ink or other mediums, so please come dressed for a bit of a mess. This program is held each month for kids ages 5-12. Please call to register.

Chess Club

Learn the basic moves of chess or sharpen your strategic skills against players of all skill levels. Younger players will get advice and support from teens who are part of the Newton Falls Jr. High Chess Club. For ages 8 and up. Please call to register.

Kids Mini RPG

Too young for Dungeons and Dragons? Try out our super simplified version of a role playing game, set in your favorite fictional universe. From Harry Potter to Pokemon, we play in a different fantasy world in each game, and provide you with a ready-made character. Bring your own dice, or use ours. For ages 8-12. Please call to register.

Fall Favorites...

Our monthly programs change all the time, but several favorites come back every year. This fall, look for a visit from the Newton Falls Joint Fire Department during Fire Safety Month in October, and a pumpkin decorating program just before Halloween.
