What’s Fun for Kids at the Library This Week

July 11, 2019 by Maegen Blue

Need free fun to do with the kids when it’s raining?
Or just any day?
Look no further than your library!

We’re rounded up the best things going on for kids at Tacoma, Puyallup, and Pierce and South King County library branches.

We’ve just included two days worth since this is a new-to-the-site feature. Let me know if you find it helpful, and we’ll do it again!
Also note that I have only included special events that sounded like,
“Best bets.” I haven’t included regular story times. As usual, links are provided so you can check the details! Make sure you’ve signed up for summer reading, too!
