News Release
NORTH WEBSTER — Are the kids bored with their toys? Capture their interest and imaginations with Book Buddy play kits from North Webster Community Public Library. A limited number of Book Buddy kits are being offered in the Youth Department with different kits available each week. Each themed kit contains books and educational toys and can be checked out for one week. When returned, kits are thoroughly sanitized. Book Buddy kits are also handy for grandparents when the grandkids come to visit.
Bring the kids to explore the library as they go on a scavenger hunt through the Youth Department to find the hidden ninjas. When they have located all the ninjas, they win a treat.
