Pop into Aalfs Downtown Library for a relaxing afternoon of board games from the Library's new board game collection! A variety of popular board and card games - from classic family games to modern favorites - will be waiting for you! All ages and skill levels are welcome at this drop-in event.
Library of Things Launches at the Library!
Starting July 1, the Sioux City Public Library will allow resident card holders to borrow from our new Library of Things! A Library of Things gives residents a chance to try something new without investing in it first and promotes sustainability in allowing residents access to seldomly used household items. The Library of Things collection at the Sioux City Public Library will provide new resources for residents to explore areas of interest, try out new leisure activities, and gain access to items where cost or storage space may be an obstacle.
Wiggle, Giggle, Play! Toddler Game Day! on July 11
Toddlers and their adult caregivers are invited to join us for fun and games at the Library! After we read a story or two, little ones can participate in obstacle course challenges like walking on the balance beam, crawling through "tunnels," and a bean bag toss - all perfect for exploring large motor skills. Registration required.
Teen Crafternoon: Boho Yarn Tapestry on July 7
Learn the textile art of weaving and make your own boho-chic yarn tapestry. All supplies and snacks will be provided. Registration is required.
