Summer events at Northern Tier Library

Northern Tier Library is gearing up for another Summer Learning Program, which will run through Aug. 5, and end with a celebration on Aug. 6.

Ocean of Possibilities is the theme for 2022, and that means lots of ocean-related stories, crafts and activities. The library will offer a wide variety of programs and materials to encourage ocean exploration: family art projects, STEAM activities, collaborative zine creations, cooking classes and tons of books to read.

There will be paper art kits and DIY crafts available for families to pick up and enjoy at home. Outdoor activities, including zine creation, STEAM experiments and storytimes, will be offered outside every week. Indoor activities will be available too, such as drop-in programming that can be enjoyed any time when visiting the library, and the return of the kids cooking program.

For more information, call the library at 724-449-2665 or visit northerntierlibrary.org.
