Richmond Public Library

It’s that time of year! October, Halloween Crafts!

What are we doing this year?

Story Time is on Wednesdays at 10:00 AM. They will have a Halloween themed craft each week except for October 25th. We will be meeting at 9:30 AM and then Trick-or-Treating a few businesses on Central street. If we have time after we will make a craft.

The school kids will have some craft days after school. October 11th at 4:30 PM the kids will make edible Halloween monsters from Ding Dongs and Twinkies.

October 18th is Chocolate Cupcake Day so, we will make those also into some kind of monster. The best part is they get to eat the creation when they are done.

October 25th at 4:30 the kids will be Halloween slime.

The adults will also be making some crafts, we are still working on that schedule.

Summer Reading 2023 is half over. What have we done so far this summer?

After the kick-of party we then made bracelets, younger and older kids. Then the tween and teen made DIY Nerf darts and the adults made canning ring sun catcher.

Then we celebrated National Peanut Butter cookie day by making Nutter Butter horse cookies. Up next was Father’s day crafts. Then National Crocodile day was celebrated by making and edible albino crocodile.

Next up the younger kids got Orbeez bottles to take home, the older kids make Orbeez stress balls. Then the adults planted Bonsai trees.

The last week of June saw the kid making slime, tween & teens making mini catapults and the adults trying squeegee painting.

Now onto July. Remember the Library will be Closed July 13th, 14th & 15th for the Richmond Free Fair. Summer Reading ends on July 26th for the kids and July 28th for the adults.…

Summer Reading kick-off was a blast. This year we started on a Thursday instead of our usual Wednesday, This was because Thursday, June 1st is also Dinosaur day!

We had dinosaur themed games and cotton candy, hostess snacks [thanks to the United Methodist Church for the snacks] and drinks for the kids.

The schedule for this summer’s crafts are as follows:

Wednesday at 10:00 AM, 5 & under kids

Wednesday at 2:00 PM, 6 to 11 year olds kids

Thursday at 2:00 PM, tweens & teens

Friday at 1:00 PM adults

There is a Friday that is a food craft instead of adult craft. The library will also be closed July 13, 14 and 15 for the Richmond Fair.…
