Salina Public Library will offer several programs for youth and teens during Spring Break, March 9-13. Along with the library’s spaces for play, reading and gaming, students will have plenty of options for getting out of the house during the break.

Spring Break-out offers a chance to work with a team to solve a puzzle before time runs out. Sessions will be March 11 at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. for ages 9-16. Also on March 11, youth ages 5-10 can paint their own piece of unique art during Painted Garden Flowers at 2 p.m.
Ages 8-12 can lift their imaginations off the page with 3D Pens at 10:15 or 2 p.m. March 12.
Rounding out the week, youth ages 5-11 can create their own tie-dye bookmarks at 2 p.m. March 13. Those ages 10-17 can enjoy three hours of gaming, both video and tabletop, with Spring Break Stay ‘n’ Play starting at 2 p.m. in the Technology Center.
