Rodman Public Library is encouraging all caregivers to bring their little ones in for a visit on Saturday, February 4, which is Take Your Child to the Library Day.

Several literacy stations and games will be set up throughout the children’s area from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Main Library. A craft table will also be available as well as a “photo booth” where families can take pictures.

At 2 p.m., family BINGO will be played in the auditorium and children’s prizes will be awarded to the winners. Only children will be given BINGO cards.

Due to scheduling conflicts, Kids Gaming at Rodman Public Library will have some special dates during the months of February, March, and April.
