Programs for Children and Youth

Books come alive at the Lewisville Library the last Saturday of every month. Every session starts at 10:30 a.m. with a two minute “actor’s warm-up”, followed by reading the selected book of the month. Then kids get on their feet and learn by doing. K - 3rd graders will enjoy this interactive program.

Hey, Teens!  Ever thought about serving in another country?  How about studying the Hindi language and teaching English and crocheting to locals in India?
