Oxford County Library (OCL) will explore “tales” and “tails” this March Break with virtual programming featuring fairy tales and books about animals. The week-long calendar of events includes programming for children of all ages and interests, ranging from science and math to animal care, music, cooking, trivia and more while highlighting family-friendly library resources.

Virtual programming allows children and their families to participate in any of the March Break offerings without contending with winter travel or in-branch safety protocols. OCL's engaging and dynamic staff will captivate participants with fun activities, exciting information and silly anecdotes. Open programs will be hosted on Facebook and YouTube, while registered programs will be available through Zoom with limited space available.

 

For children who need a screen break over March Break, Oxford County Library is offering a FREE hands-on craft kit. Visit your local library branch to pick up a kit today and share your creations on social media by tagging @OxfordCountyLibrary or using the hashtag #OCL.

More information about OCL's March Break programming, including details about each virtual offering, is available online at https://engagedpatrons.org/EventsExtended.cfm?SiteID=2048&EventID=456114&PK=740483.
