Learn and Play at Shirlington!

New Learn and Play tubs help young children develop new skills.

Visitors to the Shirlington Branch Library can now use one of our six fun tubs of toys. Pop-up books, finger puppets, and puzzles are just a few of the great activities available for caregivers to use with their children.

Learn and play tubs

Play helps children develop critical skills like language, reasoning, and problem solving. When parents join in, it can be even more beneficial.

Come in and see what fun you can have at the Library!

    When will the edible books contest be? We loved participating last time around and have been eagerly awaiting the next time around, as friends can’t wait to try their creative hand in the creating process! 🙂
