Pick up your kit at your library location in March, then return your finished mash-up to be displayed in celebration of Arts in April.

Carver County Library Storytimes Storytimes are an early literacy experience where we sing, play, write, talk, and read together. Toddler storytimes take place on Mondays at 10:30 a.m. with preschool storytimes at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays, 10:30 a.m. on Wednesdays, and 3:30 p.m. on Sundays. Baby storytimes are Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. Bring your complete, gently used puzzles to swap for new-to-you puzzles for a night in with your sweetheart. Stick around to play tabletop games with other fans of all ages. These programs are made possible by a Charles J. Dahlke grant. No registration is required.
