After-school activities offered at Post Falls Library

POST FALLS - Beginning in February, children will have something different to do after school at the Community Library Network at Post Falls.

From 4 to 5 p.m each Thursday, elementary school children can participate in fun-filled art, music and science programs. The fourth Thursday of the month is reserved for a PG movie with snacks.

Youth Services Specialist Lucy Barnard said the programs will last through the fourth week in April and themes will vary each Thursday.

"It's a great way for kids to engage with each other," she said. "Rather than just watching TV or playing with their hand-held devices, they can be exploring art, moving to music or making messy science experiments."

The first Thursday of the month features arts and crafts for grades three to five, followed by Music Mayhem on the second Thursday for kindergarten to third grade and Science Awesomeness on the third Thursday for grades three to five. Movie Day is every fourth Thursday and open to kindergartners through fifth-graders.

All programs are free and no registration is needed. For more information, call 773-1506.
