Homemade gifts are made with love, fun to create and wonderful to receive. Being with friends and family, even in an online environment, warms the heart and causes us to appreciate all the little things in life. Holidays are special, for the celebrations, traditions and memories created throughout the season.
Take some time to create some homemade gifts with our easy step by step video guide series DIY & Maker. Cook up a delicious Peruvian recipe and discover Holly’s homemade spice mix or visit with Elizabeth as she highlights basic crochet projects ready for you to try. Create a family memory and join Nicole in making Apple Cinnamon Ornaments, paint or decorate these any way you like. Don’t forget the tag for your homemade gift, design your own on the Cricut Maker, free in-person instruction. Register today!
Holiday programs for kids are just as engaging, work together to solve the I Spy Challenges, Scavenger Hunts, or Take & Make crafts. For the littles we have special guest Reading Champions; Thor and Lady Thor who are guaranteed to keep those kids busy, whether you are wrapping presents, getting dinner prepared, or just in need of a little break.
Kwanzaa is an African American cultural holiday where homemade and traditional gifts are shared. Learn more during our Kwanzaa Storytime. Register today for a story, music, and more. On Christmas Eve, even though Mr. & Mrs. Claus are super busy, they have taken time to join us and read one of their favourite stories.
Grab your family or friends, a hot beverage, and ring in the New Year with a friendly competition. If you are ready for the challenge, join us online for a fun-filled event and test your knowledge with the New Year's Trivia Game!
This is a wonderful time of year, where friends and family gather, safely, and celebrate all the good things in the world and share in the magic of this season. We know how busy the holidays can be, so to make it easy, we’ve added many of our programs and activities to the BPL Program Portal. Peruse at your convenience, or when you need to keep the kids entertained.
