Our Activity Boxes are back again this summer! Registration is online only at dhlibrary.org (Monday, June 3 - Saturday, June 29). The Activity Boxes are free and will be home delivered. Every registered family gets a Family Supplies box that contains markers, crayons, glue, scissors, and chalk. Each registered individual receives an Activity Box containing coloring pages, crafts, and a science activity. Anyone can sign up for boxes (including adults!) and younger children can participate with the help of a grown up. The boxes are geared toward elementary ages, but older and younger children will likely enjoy them as well. Delivery: Monday, July 15 - Saturday, July 20. -It is 100 percent free. -Everyone can participate, regardless of what city a student may live in. -The library delivers the boxes directly to homes, so no transportation is required. https://www.dhcl.michlibrary.org/
