We’ve got toys, blocks, books and all kinds of games for preschool-aged children to enjoy during Play and Grow every week at the library! Join us for an hour of supervised free play in the children’s area.

Play and Grow, 10 a.m Fridays at Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library, 1101 Bethel St.

Join us for STEAM Saturday, Aug. 30, on the Great Lawn to explore the science of bubbles. Several experiment stations will be set up including bubble clusters and inception, surface tension and elasticity, bubble snakes, bubble painting and a bubble skewer challenge. We will also have the super bubble station, where you can try and create a bubble big enough to go around a person. As always, STEAM Saturday is free with membership or park admission.

This event is subject to weather conditions. 

Bring the family to Nature Station during Labor Day weekend for a day full of outdoor adventure! Programs and activities will focus on outdoor skills that will allow your child to be a more confident outdoor adventurer. We will also feature live animal programs to help kids learn about the wildlife that lives in Land Between the Lakes!

All activities will be included with general Nature Station admission, which is $7 for ages 16+ and free for ages 15 and under.

Middle school, ugh. It’s the worst. But Greg is determined not to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. He’ll leave that to his weird neighbor, Fregley. Or maybe Greg’s best friend, Rowley Jefferson. But it’s not going to be Greg…no way.
