Each quarter, the library offers free kits with supplies to complete a community art project, or a craft that benefits others!

April 2026: "Unearth A Story" Coloring Sheet Contest

Pick up a kit starting April 1st. Using a black marker on paper, design a coloring sheet template that goes along with the 2026 Summer Learning theme: Unearth a Story (dinosaurs, paleontology, archaeology). Return your completed coloring sheet template (along with the entry form that was in the kit) to the library by Monday, May 4th. The winning coloring sheets from each age category will be distributed to library patrons this summer!

Circle of Parents
Wednesdays, 9:30-11:30am
Columbus Library

This program, led by Partnership for Children of the Foothills, is for parents of children from birth to five years old. Come share the challenges and successes of parenting with other parents just like you, while gaining and sharing useful information and tips on how to strengthen your family. Experienced child care teachers provide on-site age appropriate activities, supervision, and fun (including the weekly library storytime when in session) for children up to five years of age, while parents and guardians are busy in group discussion and activities. Healthy snacks are also provided. Enjoy the support of a network of new friends, while accessing resources that you and your family can use! For more information, email polkcop@pfcfoothills.org.
