We'll explore books, play games, sing songs, and enjoy each other's company in this open-ended playtime. Older siblings are welcome to follow along.

Although this is not a Spanish or English class, exposure to multiple languages at an early age will make it easier for your child to become bilingual.

Join us from 1-3 pm on Tuesdays for handwork and pleasant conversation. Bring a project to work on: embroidery, knitting, crochet, quilting, mending - whatever you like to do!

Come each Friday to hang out with fellow homeschool friends and to join in on librarian-led, interactive activities for grade-school kids and teens. 

Revisit your childhood, and make lovely pictures of nature using this time-tested method while enjoying a relaxing atmosphere and good company.

Join us for a Black Light Painting program where you'll create your own masterpiece using neon and UV-reactive paints that glow under black lights.

Spend Tuesday afternoons playing this popular fantasy, tabletop role-playing game. You do NOT have to be an experienced player -- everyone is welcome.

You're suddenly struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight. You leap from your chair, adrenaline coursing through your veins. "BINGO!" you shout.

Spooky stories, fun games, and light refreshments. 

Costumes encouraged!

*Some storytimes will also include special themes or guests. 

An activity-based time for school-age kids (ages 7-12) to relax and have fun while exploring new interests and building skills.

On Halloween eve, creep into the library... to create your own terrifying toy zombies, ghouls, and other haunting sights! We'll provide all kinds of dolls and doll parts for you to spook-ify, as well as candy and tunes. Costumes encouraged!

On the last Thursday of every month, meet other players, trade cards (we have plenty to share!), and enjoy themed games and crafts hosted by librarian Rachel. 

All supplies provided.

Meet every week to practice your Spanish in a friendly community setting! Native speakers and those interested in improving their language skills are equally welcome. Free and open to the public.

Each week, a group of Ohio University students will bring a favorite snack as well as a craft, game, or activity from their own childhoods to share with Chauncey kids.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The Bookmobile attends Trunk or Treat to pass out candy!

In this party game of deduction and deception, each player receives a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery, while evil players lie about who they are and what they know.

Show up in costume if you'd like for Q Cafe's Halloween Celebration. There will be Jackbox games, snacks, and other fun Halloween-related shenanigans!

Explore the Latin American celebration known as "The Day of the Dead" and its sacred flower, the marigold.

After recently returning from a 6-week journey through the so-called “southern cone” of South America, Dr. Jonathan Maffay will share stories, photos, and music from that fascinating region.

It's Halloween night. There's a chill in the air and the veil between worlds has grown thinner. But you're not spooked; you're hopped up on way too much candy and eager to show everyone that you've got the best costume in town.
