Come to “Stay and Play” during our story time break!  Explore our gross motor toys, musical instruments, building blocks and more!

Drop-in between 9-11:00 am.  Ages 0-6 years! 

Bring music you're working on, something you're having trouble with, play a solo or a duet for the group, play along with your fellow ukers. All skill levels welcome!

Ukers will meet in the first floor Story Time Room.

Drop in for a friendly game of chess every Thursday evening from 6:00pm until 8:00pm. All ages and skill levels are encouraged to attend. Even if you have never played, but are interested in learning, stop by and we will teach you. No registration or chess boards required. Chess is played on the library's second floor.

It's a family dance party! A half-hour of rhythm, rhyme and movement for children of all ages and their grown ups. There will be interactive songs with scarves and shaker eggs, followed by danceable music from hip-hop to Motown to swing. No talent necessary, dancing is required! The program is free – no registration needed.

Who knew that dogs love stories too?  Durning Neenah Public Library’s Pooches & Pages, children in first through sixth grade can come read to a dog between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m.  No registration required.

Pooches & Pages is held on the second Saturday of every month.  It is a reading program designed to build reading confidence and self-esteem, help a child maintain focus for a longer period of time, and increase the motivation to read.  Dogs are carefully selected to ensure a safe and fun experience, and the owner/handlers are library volunteers who love helping children become enthusiastic readers.  The dogs are gentle, calm and polite and listen patiently and without judgment as a child reads aloud.

Start a new tradition and bring your family together to enjoy favorite songs of the season! Timeless classics like Frosty, Rudolph, and Jingle Bells are sure to ring in the holiday spirit! We'll even throw in some hot chocolate to warm up those vocal chords! It's caroling without the cold! Then make a wintery craft in the storytime room!

All ages are welcome!

What can you build in one hour?  Come to the Neenah Public Library on the first and third Sundays of the month and build something never seen before, during LEGOs @ the Library.  The program is for kids age 5 and up; children 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult.  LEGOs provided.  We’ll display your creation in the children’s display case!
