Babylon Public Library

Babylon had a series of outdoor play stations where families could get Playday Passports stamped! The program moved inside later in the afternoon.

Brookhaven Free Library

Brookhaven’s Great Playdate was a camping trip! Each family was handed a map (since they were “Going on a Bear Hunt”!) when they arrived and went station to station based on the book. At the end they received s’mores trail mix and took a picture with the bear!

Floyd Memorial Library

At Floyd, children attended a program presented by the Pollock-Krasner House, where they were inspired to paint with sticks, sponges, cotton swabs, combs, and other fun stuff!

Over at John Jermain Library they hosted the GPD from 12-2 PM. We had stations set up that targeted reading, learning and playing! We had story time with Wally our “Reading Dog,” a book and a craft, sensory kits, as well as miniature golf and the giant connect four set up outside.
