Kitchen Science: The Maryville Public Library will host a hands-on science session for kids in grades K-6 Monday, January 15, 10:30-11:30 am. All of the activities will be easily replicated at home with common household ingredients. Registration required to ensure adequate supplies. Call 660-582-5281.

 Lego Club for PreK - 6th grade will be held the third Tuesday of the month at 5:30 pm.  Upcoming dates include Tuesdays: January 16, February 20, March 19, April 16, May 21, and June 18.  Registration is required to ensure adequate space and baseplates and sign ups will be made available on our Facebook page or by calling 660- 582-5281.  We supply the Legos and the theme. Your child supplies the imagination. After builders create their build, they can have their picture taken for our Facebook page to share their creativity with our followers. Legos will also be placed in the glass case for library patrons to view over the month until the next Lego Club. Please do not bring Legos from home.

Maryville Public Library will be hosting the NWMSU Art Education Department Jan. 17 at 5 p.m. for a special art experience. This month the age group is K-2. February 21 will be for grades 3-6. Registration is required. Register by calling the library at (660)582-5281. TAB LAB experiences will begin with a librarian reading a selected children’s book. Then kids will choose a prompt provided by Northwest’s art education pre-service teachers and select a studio area they want to explore such as painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, ceramics, etc.  The children will go to the studio area of their choice and produce art with the support of a Northwest pre-service art teacher under the supervision of Northwest Assistant Professor of Art Dyan Akkouche.  Northwest art education students will provide examples of art, including those representing a diversity of cultures and perspectives. Artworks produced by students may be featured online or in the gallery section of the Maryville Public Library.  This experience will be documented and written about as research on TAB methodology by Professor Dyan Akkouche.

Children's Business Fair information session: Handmade home decor, personal beauty products, dog treats, crafts, drawings and so much more were the final products of student run businesses at the Children’s Business Fair last year. We invite all youth ages eight through high school, who might be interested in creating a product or service and earning a profit, to attend our informational meeting January 19, at 5 pm in the library’s basement. This meeting will provide parents and young entrepreneurs with all the dates and information that they will need to learn about the CBF process which will culminate in a one-day market March 16, 2024.
