Storytime

Join the Children’s Librarian each Friday morning from 10:30–11:00 am at the Bixby Library for stories, songs, rhymes, and play. This program is designed for preschool-aged children and their caregivers. Kids of all ages are welcome!

Craft of the Week

Visit the Children’s Room each week for a new craft activity! Make the craft at the library or take-and-make at home.

Summer Reading Program

Every year from June-August, kids ages pre-K to Grade 8 can participate in the Summer Reading program, Booked for Bikes! Pick up your entry forms from the Bixby to log your reading minutes. After submitting your entries at the library, you will be entered into the drawing to win the Grand Prize, a new bike! Every entry also enters you into our weekly drawings to win prizes. This program is made possible through a longstanding partnership with the Vergennes Rotary.

Outreach

Outreach services are available to registered and certified childcare facilities in the Addison Northwest District from the Bixby Library. Services include the delivery of books and other materials for loan, as well as storytime. For more information about the Childcare Outreach Program, please call the library at (802) 877-2211.

Reading Dragons

This fall the Bixby Library will be hosting Reading Dragons! Reading Dragons is a collectable card game created by the Dover Public Library in Ohio. Cards range from dragons to other mythological characters like griffins and unicorns. You can battle players with your cards, collect them, or even trade them with others. When you sign up you will receive a starter kit that comes with three families of dragons in each element and a reading tracker. For every two hours you read, you will receive a family of dragons from our monthly choosing. Sign up for this event will begin on September 20th, with the first day to collect cards beginning on October 6th! For any questions or concerns, please contact shelby.gagne@bixbylibrary.org.
