Charles L. Durham Library

Here at Durham, we are trying something new. Check out our latest collection: World Languages. Right now it's just Korean children's books, but we hope to expand it!

P.S. Come check them out now. They have that new book smell! 😍🥰

Don't forget that today at 3:45 is Build Your Dream Neighborhood!

Looking for a fun, collaborative STEAM program for your kiddos to enjoy after school? Join us on the 15th and the 29th for Build Your Dream Neighborhood!

Open Space Sandbox’s collaboration with LEAP aims to foster conversations between elementary schoolers about what they would like to see in the vacant lots of their neighborhoods. The children attending the programs will be able to use the online tool to dream of their own designs for nearby public spaces. This program is recommended for grades 3-8.

New year, new LEAP fun! Join us starting Jan 5th for a ton of after school activities ranging from zine making to Friday Game Days.❄💙

🎉Happy New Year to our favorite community!🎉

New year, new programs! While we will close at 1PM tomorrow, and will remain closed until the 2nd of January, feel free to mark the following programs onto your fresh calendar. We hope to see you there!
