VALENTINE’S DAY AND WINTER BREAK
GRAB ‘N GO CRAFTS AND VIRTUAL PROGRAMS

If you are looking for activities for your children to do during
Winter Break, look to the Library! We have a terrific assortment of Grab n’ Go crafts
and virtual programs available for your children to enjoy.

Children’s Virtual Art Exhibit:
Hometown Heroes

We are inviting parents and caregivers to email pictures of their children’s artwork (painting, drawing, coloring, etc,) throughout the month of February to islipchildrens@isliplibrary.org. Children, ages up to Grade 6, are encouraged to create art that reflects appreciation of their local heroes (teachers, nurses, grocery store workers, parents, whoever they choose!).
The art exhibit will be displayed on the Library’s Facebook page.
We look forward to receiving all the wonderful pictures.
