Special Events at the Library This Week

The Round Rock Public Library hosts a Scholastic Book Fair at the Library featuring paperback books kids love from July 8-11, 2019.

Visit Round Rock Public Library for a special Play Zone with Pete the Cat on July 8 & 9, 2019 featuring some of the library’s fun items for creative play. This free, come-and-go event will be held instead of the regularly scheduled Preschool Storytime. As an added treat, Scholastic character Pete the Cat will on hand to greet the kids and pose for photos.

Round Rock Firefighters Visit the Library on Wednesday, July 10, 2019! Enjoy a come-and-go casual meet-and-greet with a few of Round Rock’s firefighters. See their equipment up close, and get to know them as trustworthy helpers who show up when you might be feeling afraid. If we’re extra lucky, we’ll have a fire truck parked outside (the trucks and crews are always ready to roll if someone needs help).

The Library welcomes the Lone Star Saber Saber Academy for an evening of Jedi Training on Wednesday, July 10, 2019. This come-and-go activity is perfect for Jedi and padawans ages 6 years and older. Participants will have a chance to train in small groups throughout the evening. Enjoy some time watching the other groups while you await your group’s turn to train. Costumes are welcome.

Come for a morning of imaginative come-and-go play at the Library. One of the play stations will be a Teddy Bear Clinic, staffed by healthcare professionals from Baylor Scott and White. Kids can pretend to be the grownups supporting their stuffed animals through a well-check. We’ll have some stuffed animals available for kids to borrow, too. We’ll have several additional playstations where kids can move their bodies, work their fingers, and stretch their imaginations. This activity is best enjoyed by ages 1 – 7.

The Round Rock Library Public Library will host a Chew & Chat with Mari Mancusi on Thursday, July 11, 2019 pm. Texas author Mari Mancusi will join us to share her books and creative writing process. Pizza and refreshments will be available for first arrivals.

Bring the family to the Round Rock Public Library for a special theater event on Saturday, July 13, 2019. The Magik Theatre presents a fun and lively performance of the The Ugly Duckling for children of all ages. Join the fun in Meeting Room C! Space is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis. This activity replaces our regular Family Storytime.
