This weekly after school program is for elementary and middle school-aged children (ages 5-12/grades K-6). This drop-in program offers activities that support playing and making art in the library:

• 1st & 3rd Wednesdays are for maker activities (art or STEM)
• 2nd & 4th Wednesdays are for playing board games or building with LEGO and other toys.

Parents, grandparents, and other adult caregivers are welcome to hang out with the group and/or supervise younger siblings in the children’s room.

Mahalo to the Friends of Waimea Public Library for funding materials and supplies for maker activities and our board game collection!

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required.

Do you need a kickstart for that novel you’ve been meaning to write? Have you gotten “stuck” in the middle of writing your memoirs? Or would you like feedback on your latest poem? If so, consider joining the West Side Writers’ Group at the library!

This drop-in group is open to adults who write creative fiction, nonfiction, and/or poetry. We begin with a writing prompt to warm up, then the rest of our time is for sharing work and giving feedback.

Since writing is usually a solitary activity, it can be helpful to join a gathering of people who share your interest. Please note that this is not a formal class, but a casual workshop to offer and receive encouragement. Group meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

For ages 18 and up. Light refreshments will be served thanks to the Friends of Waimea Public Library.

Families with young children (0-5 years) are welcome to play, read, and sing at the library!

For the first half hour, children are welcome to drop in for open play with the library’s toys. For the second half, the librarian will read aloud and share rhymes and songs (with help from the grown-ups!).

Please note that this is a mixed-age group, with most stories targeted toward toddlers and preschool-aged children. All young children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.
