Looking for an outdoor activity? Join us every Friday from August 7 to August 28 for Stories at the Point at Sydenham Point. From 10:30 to 11 a.m., children of all ages can enjoy a relaxed lakeside storytime filled with stories, songs and fresh air.
Get creative at the Cloyne Branch on Tuesday, August 11, from 11 a.m. to noon during Brick by Brick. Patrons of all ages are invited to build with LEGO and DUPLO, and every participant will receive a free pair of LEGO glasses to take home.
Children ages 6 to 12 can also unleash their creativity at ChompSaw Creations on Wednesday, August 12, from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Sharbot Lake Branch. Using cardboard and kid-safe tools, participants will design and build their own imaginative creations.

That same day, join us at Point Park in Sydenham for Bubble Bash, a family-friendly celebration filled with hands-on activities, bubbles and plenty of opportunities to explore, play and create together.
