Public Libraries
Public libraries are one of our favorite places to play indoors. In addition to being a great place to curl up together with a book, many have other fun things to do together including board games, computers, train tables, puppet theaters, coloring, puzzles, video games, more. Availability varies by the library but you don't have to be a town resident to visit a library. They are all open to anyone and they are free to visit! Check out their website for individual library offerings and hours and don't forget about the great programming they offer - everything from reading to a therapy dog to STEM program to yoga to kids book clubs and beyond!
