The Library offers a variety of free programs to help foster a love of literacy and lifelong learning for kids of all ages and families. Most programs are drop-in and are offered throughout the year on a seasonal basis in addition to special events.
Bring the whole family and enjoy an afternoon movie in the library! The Dog Man movie is based off of Dav Pilkey's popular Dog Man book series. This movie tells the story of how a dog and a police officer are injured together on the job and then a life-saving surgery changes the course of history when Dog Man is born. Half dog, half man, Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve as long as he isn't distracted by squirrels, as he doggedly pursues his arch-nemesis: the feline supervillain Petey the Cat. But the rivalry between Dog Man and Petey is upended by the arrival of an adorable kitten clone of Petey, Lil Petey, who changes the game for both of them.
This program does not require registration and is drop-in.
Bring your own snacks. Colouring and Dog Man activities provided.
