Kid Programming
Fueling Big Imaginations! 🚀 Kids bring the library to life, and we love fueling their wonder through storytimes, early literacy fun, art, and hands-on STEAM projects. Every program we fund is built to spark big creativity in little learners. Help us bring joy, connection, and confidence to every child who walks through our doors!
Adult/Family Programming
Connecting Adults and Enriching Canby! 💡 We bring engaging workshops, inspiring author talks, and welcoming community events to life for local adults. These programs offer everyone a chance to master a new skill, meet neighbors, and stay connected. Join us in fueling the enriching, energizing, and inclusive experiences that keep our community thriving!
Community Programming
Unlocking Exploration and Discovery! 🗺️ We fund the hands-on experiences that turn the library into a bustling hub of creativity. From Cultural Passes that unlock free entry to local museums and gardens, to a Library of Things packed with tools, games, and tech, your support opens doors for everyone.
