Kindergarten Tours

Do you have a child in kindergarten at Delaney School? Throughout the first week of May, all kindergarten classes will be visiting Fiske. They will take a tour of the library and learn about all the fun and interesting things the library has to offer. Your child’s teacher will be sending home a pink library card application. If they do not already have a library card of their own, please fill this out and return to school by April 18 so they can receive their very first library card at their visit. 

Buildwave

Saturday, April 12 from noon to 1 p.m.

Boost your child’s STEAM interest with Buildwave® — a building event that feels like a gameshow. During the event, participants build with waves of diverse materials like Lego®, Plus-Plus®, and more. Each building wave is enhanced by a dynamic audiovisual experience unlike any other. As participants complete wave after wave of building, they gain creative confidence, enhance teamwork, and experience design fundamentals in a unique and memorable context. Register on the calendar page at fiskelib.org. Learn more at www.buildwave.com. For grades K-6.
