For kids who stayed in town during the school break, the library offered a place to play, learn and create with at least six hours of activities each day from Monday to Thursday.

A story and craft time, usually held by librarians Marti Mozdzier and Lisa Kimpflen on Tuesdays, stretched all day as volunteers and workers from the library, the Wild Center, the school district and the town each ran sessions, creating Easter baskets, learning about dinosaurs and playing with littleBits.

These kits combine the snap-together simplicity of Legos with the complex electrical workings of a circuit board, allowing kids to invent, discover and fool around with ease.

Mozdzier and town Youth Activity Director Angie Snye said they saw around five to seven kids every day, with 10 coming on Tuesday and only a few on Thursday. They said as the weather got better, the attendance got smaller.

There were several unique crafts: bubble gum portraits, iris folding patterns and mini comic books.

“We have a couple staff who hang out on Pinterest,” Goff-Nelson Director Peg Mauer said.

High school senior Dezarae Dattola helped the kids learn how to use the littleBits and had a big bag of 1,000 domino pieces. She said on Wednesday, one chain wrapped all the way around a table to ring a bell at the end. She started working at the library shortly before last year’s event and had to learn how to use the littleBits herself.
