Fun activities for kids after school


Looking for after-school activities for your elementary aged student?  All 14 branches of Whitman County Library provide programs for grade school aged youngsters.  Activities include crafts, science experiments, games and snacks provided by community donations to the Friends of the Library. 

The week of January 12 will be an especially busy one with 12 programs scheduled over just three days.   On Tuesday, Jan. 13, LaCrosse students are invited to a 3 p.m. program in the large new library.  Wednesday is an early release day for many county schools with after school programs set for Albion, Endicott, Oakesdale, Rosalia, St. John & Tekoa branch libraries.

On Thursday, Jan. 15, Albion, Colton, Colfax, Farmington and Palouse offer their regular 3rd Thursday after school programs. In Palouse, these programs happen each Thursday thanks to a partnership with WSU’s Center for Civic Engagement. Children participating in this program receive assistance with their homework, play games and receive support and encouragement from student mentors.

For specific program dates and times, visit the Library’s Events Calendar at www.whitco.lib.wa.us or the Branch Facebook pages which can be found under the Locations link.
