The Newark Public Library in partnership with Cool CAT received funding from the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation to put together art events for preschool age children at different branch locations. These are photos with story time with high school readers from Science Park HS and puffy snow painting at Van Buren Library!

In February's Second Saturdays at Greater Newark Conservancy, little ones and their caregivers explored the Conservancy's greenhouse. They touched, smelled and tasted plants. They played in the dirt and were given cuttings and small plants to take home to care for.

Thanks to WBGO, Touch the Music hosted two sessions for little ones to play and touch a variety of instruments at the Van Buren Branch Library.
