Event List

The Local History Room is staffed by members of the Jenison Historical Association and can be accessed on Wednesday from 11AM-1PM. Volunteers can help you with local history and genealogical research.  The room can be accessed by using the stairs to the lower level (past the vending machines) or the elevator in the Township Office.

Are you a crafty person? Do you have crafts that you just can't seem to get done at home? Now is your time to finish them! Bring the craft you are currently working on (or have been waiting to start), whether it is knitting, quilting, scrapbooking, or anything else! Come and spend time socializing, and sharing crafting experience. Please bring along everything you need for your own craft. The library will provide tables and chairs. 

Join us for Preschool Bingo! We will use BINGO boards that are easy for little ones to understand (more pictures than letters and numbers) and have fun prizes!

We have a limited number of Bingo cards, so please be sure you're registering the correct number of children you'll be bringing. You can register as a group, or each child separately.

Enjoy a free movie! Bring a lunch or just enjoy some free snacks provided by the library.

Play is an important part of early literacy development. In this program, parents and caregivers will engage in purposeful play with their children! Activities are separated by development area (imaginative play, fine motor skills, music, letters and numbers, etc).

Touch, hear, see, and play! This drop in play time focuses on letting kids play and learn using their senses, using things like textured blocks, water, sound tubes, ball pit, and foam paint. Come and go as you please during the hour.

Ages 0-5. Play clothes that can get messy are encouraged.

PARENTAL SUPERVISION REQUIRED. Some of our sensory bins include small pieces, which are great for sensory play, but mean you'll want to keep a close eye on your little ones!

Kids ages 6-12, join us as we learn about a new country each month! Using a subscription box called Little Global Citizens, we will learn about a different country each month. We'll read a book and then have stations with some fun games, activities, and crafts based on the culture of the country. You can travel the world without ever leaving Michigan!
