To support social distancing during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the library is offering a variety of "Grab & Go" activity kits that may be picked up for completion at home.
These kits include most or all of the supplies needed to complete these projects and instructions (sometimes including a link to online video instructions). The target audience for each activity varies; there are activities for children, teens, adults and all ages. Some of these activities were planned as on-site library events before the pandemic and were adapted to enable at-home participation, while others were planned more recently.
A complete list of upcoming Grab & Go activities may be viewed at www.mcpl.us/events/grab-and-go.
If you have any questions, please contact your local MCPL!
