Chapter Chat Book Group

Posted on by

Chapter Chat is a read-together group for folks 17 and older who have intellectual disabilities. The group meets every week to read a novel together.

At the event, we will take turns reading aloud from the book. You can read aloud as much or as little as you like, or you can just listen! This is not a reading instruction class: we read together to socialize and share the experience of reading a good book.

This program is presented by library staff and meets in June from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm on the dates below:

LEGO® Challenge

Posted on by

Take on our LEGO® building challenge! We provide the prompts, you provide the creativity. Creations can be displayed in the children’s room at the Riverton library!

Children will be given a specific theme or goal to create a project either separately or together. Building with LEGO® supports skill building and problem solving for children. All LEGO® bricks will be provided by the library. Please do not bring in LEGO® bricks from home.

This is best for kids 6-9, but all children are welcome.

 

This event is presented by library staff on Tuesday, June 24th from 3:30 to 4:30 pm!
