December Events for Children and Teens at WVPL

The Holiday season is here and we certainly have lots of events going on at Wissahickon Valley Public Library for children and teens!

You may have noticed in November that Blue Bell started offering online registration for events. In December, we will be offering both online registrations and paper registrations at our children’s desk in Blue Bell. Starting January 2, 2012, we are moving to online registrations for all children’s and teen programs happening at Blue Bell.
