This program is full. We will be bringing more stuffed friends back in the fall. Please stay tuned!

This program is funded by our Friends of the Library. Please click here for more information and to learn how to become a member. Thank you! 

Kids of all ages are welcome at our Build a Fox! program on Saturday, July 29th at 10:30 am. 

We will build 15″ stuffed foxes to take home and keep. The foxes have zip closures, so no sewing is required. We’ll also share some stories and songs about our forest friends!

Space is limited to 20 children. When you register, please only count children who are building a fox (not caregivers) in your registration total.

*** Because of the cost associated with each stuffed friend, we are requiring a $5.00 deposit (cash or check made payable to Denville Library) to confirm your spot for this program. Your deposit must be received at the library by 9 pm on Wednesday, July 26th, or we will cancel your registration. We will return your deposit when you attend the program. If you cancel within 48 hours of the program or fail to attend, we will keep your deposit to reimburse the library for the unused materials. We will email all registrants with complete instructions. Thank you! ***

*** REGISTRATION DETAILS ***

Denville residents ONLY may sign up beginning Friday, July 21st.

Residents of all neighboring communities may sign up beginning Monday, July 24th. Early registrations from non-Denville residents will be canceled. Thank you for respecting our policy!

On Monday, July 31st at 3:30 pm, we will be using our geometry and engineering skills to transform 92 cardboard triangles into a huge cardboard igloo!

If an adult caregiver would like to help, too, that would be great!

Please register on the RSVP button below. Thank you!

PS: Huge thanks to the Doherty family for generously supplying our building materials. This is the second igloo we’ve been able to make because of your donation. Thank you! You rock!

The wonderful folks from the Morris Museum Astronomical Society are back for another night of stargazing!

Grades 1 through 6, please join us on Monday, July 31st* beginning at 7:45 pm as we explore the sky with high-powered telescopes. Last year, we saw all the amazing craters on the moon and even got to take a peek at Saturn. (If you check out the flyer below, that’s Ms. Maryellen’s iPhone photo of the moon as seen through the telescope. So cool!)

As we take turns on the telescope — and wait for full nightfall — we’ll also have some fun space-related crafts in the meeting room, including sand art, a constellation project, and a sticker solar system scene.

We would love for you to join us! Please register on the RSVP button below. Thank you!

* Rain / cloud date is Tuesday, August 1st. We will make a decision by 4:30 pm on Monday and update everyone.
