Play a game of chess at the library! Chess players at all levels are invited to stop by on Saturday afternoons. Bring your own chess board and pieces, or we have some available at the desk.
Discover the mysterious world of whales with Mobile Adventures!! Examine their giant bones, learn about their fascinating behaviors, and find out how these ocean giants communicate and travel through the seas. Enjoy fun games and hands-on activities perfect for kids and curious minds of all ages. It's a whale of a time you won’t want to miss! Mobile Adventures is an Urban Youth Program of the Trustees, providing free nature play and exploration experiences for children in the communities of Boston, Fall River and New Bedford.
Do you like to knit or crochet? Come join a group of fellow crafters in a good cause. On Thursday afternoons, we will meet in the Fell Room for a group yarn-crafting project. We will knit hats, scarves, and mittens to be donated to homeless shelters or other charities. All yarn will be supplied. You can bring your own needles and patterns (we will have some extras around if you forget). It's a great way to make friends, share patterns and tips, and help people in the community stay warm this coming winter.
Head Start
This program is designed to allow caregivers an opportunity to participate in social and art-based activities that promote family literacy. Activities include a story, circle time songs, and finger plays. Recommended for children ages 5 and under. To register your child, please contact Miss Shannon at sdunbar@fallriverschools.org. Sponsored by the Coordinated Family and Community Engagement (CFCE) Grant awarded to the Fall River Public Schools by the Department of Early Education and Care.
Join us on the third Thursday afternoon of each month for BEAM, the library's new interactive, virtual playground that makes entertainment lively, energetic and above all TONS of fun! Choose from several exciting games to play, including Bath Trouble, Hopscotch, Lumberjacks, Aliens vs. Scientists and more! Recommended for ages 4 and up!
Friends Of The Library meeting
Both returning and new members are invited to join us on the third Wednesday of each month for a different kind of book club--one with no required books to read! Instead, everyone can share their own recommendations of a book they're enjoyed recently as we meet for general book chat and afternoon tea. Light refreshments will be served. Bring your favorite teacup (if you want) and a book or two to share!
Welcome all writers! Looking to build a community with creative, like-minded people? Look no further! We'll be getting together once a month on the second Wednesday of each month to provide support and feedback and share our love of the craft of writing. Bring your favorite pen!
