Find the joy in play and discovery as children participate in self-expression and take pride in their creative abilities! This program is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of Willow Branch Library.

Our next program includes local and exotic reptiles, stories, music and humor to excite learning about the natural world! Wild Wonders returns with the-ever popular "Scaly Sensations" on Thursday, January 2, at 2-3 p.m. at the South Mandarin Branch and Friday, January 3, from 2-3 p.m. at the Beaches Branch.
