In all the whole town, the most wonderful spotis on Cemetery Ave in The Maples shared lot.
It’s just the right spot for some good family fun,
A circus that’s all Librarian-run.
The MCL Circus! With hotdogs and stunts!
The MCL Circus! With scavenger hunts!
The MCL Circus! Popcorn! Live band!
Balloon art! Free play! Stilts made of cans!
We’re bringing out acrobats and jugglers, no clowns,
for a free day of fun in our very own town.
MCL is the place the whole family can play,
On the annual Take Your Child to the Library Day!
Join us for MCL’s annual Love Your Library Family Fun Day celebration on the first Saturday in February! This entire day is packed with free activities that promise fun for the whole family, from young toddlers to irritable teens and winter-weary parents. The day will feature extraordinary Japanese circus artist Ryunosake, who will awe audiences at 11 am in the Library’s Hunter Community Room with Chinese pole acrobatics and Big Ball juggling acts. Circus-themed scavenger hunts will be open throughout the day for kids of all ages. The Maple Street School rock band will add some high-energy tunes to the fun at noon. Get your game on in the Young Adult Loft with a host of cardboard carnival games, including skee ball and spinning tops. Take on movement challenges with hula hoops, parachutes, stilts, and more to see if you have what it takes to make it in the circus. Local artist Ian Mosher will be in the craft room at 1 pm to help you make your own balloon animals. Decompress before you leave with a free screening of The Greatest Showman. And snacks? We have you covered with steamed hot dogs, fresh popcorn, and cotton candy.
Come one! Come all! Make your way down!
The winter’s not bad with the circus in town!
This year’s Take Your Child to the Library Family Fun Day is sponsored by the Klimpton Taconic Hotel.
