Week Calendar

Get ready to move and have fun with this storytime.  We have shakers, scarves, bells, and sticks. 

Start the morning with open-ended free play to spark your child's imagination! We provide a variety of toys -- trucks, rockets, blocks of all kinds, tactile toys, pretend foods, and more. This moment of unstructured play fosters creativity, encourages children to explore the world in their own way, and allows children to socialize with their peers. Explore & Play also offers an opportunity for the adults to engage in meaningful play with their children and form connections with other caregivers. 

The doors will open at exactly 9:30 and we will begin to pick up at 10:00.

Baby Sign Storytime is designed for babies and their caregivers. Miss Haley will introduce basic sign language for your family to use to facilitate communication before your baby can speak. This program uses a basic storytime format with practical topics to support you and your baby as you both learn helpful signs.

Come explore your child's artistic side with fun art and craft projects. Crafts are selected with children ages 2 to 6 in mind, but all ages are welcome to attend. This program can get messy, so wear your less-than-best clothes. 

The only thing better than reading a good book is reading a good book and then talking about it with fellow book lovers. Every month we read a preselected book and then meet to discuss it. The Adult Services Librarian guides the discussion, but attendees are encouraged to bring up their own desired topics for the group to talk about, and we like to keep it loose and let the conversation flow naturally.

The book club reads primarily fiction titles, but we change things up with a non-fiction title from time to time. Click here to view the current reading list.

Monthly art classes for tweens

Registration Required

Step into your artistic journey at the Benbrook Library! Be introduced to the elements of art, examine historical or contemporary artists, and develop artistic skill. Paints, pencils, inks, or watercolors will be used by your “young Van Gogh” to create a masterpiece in every session. Supplies will be provided by the library.

These classes are for beginning artists, ages 9 through 12. It is important to note that artists who participate should be able to follow instructions, complete the project within the time allotted, and clean up their tools before the end of class. Please dress appropriately to create! Our tween programs are designed for tweens only.  If your tween needs parental help for these classes please talk to a library staff member before signing up.  

Upon registration, sign up for reminder notices from the instructor by texting @3fgc3g to the number 81010. You will be informed about the artistic medium used and will be able to view a sample of the artwork that will be created in class.

Do you love all things Pokémon? Catch 'em all at our monthly Pokémon Club. Enjoy snacks, trade cards, express your creativity through a Pokémon-related craft, and hang out after school with other fans. Drop in anytime between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to join in on the fun and make like-minded friends. Intended for ages 6-15.

Join us for an evening of unscripted fun!

Nearly everything we do in life is improvised, so why not hone our craft in a fun and stress-free environment? Improv is a form of unscripted comedic theater which is created spontaneously by the participants. In this workshop, we'll play silly games and do exercises that will help us learn to take risks and think on our feet while laughing a lot along the way! 

Calling all fiber artists and crafters! Whether you knit, crochet, weave, embroider, cross stitch, quilt, needlepoint, spin, or felt—come join the Fiber Arts Social Circle at the library. This is a casual, welcoming space to connect with fellow makers, share your latest projects, and enjoy great conversation. No instruction, no pressure—just creativity and community. Bring your current work-in-progress and settle in for some cozy crafting time!

No registration required. Our classes are open to all eager crafters!
