Chester Springs Library is wasting no time this April to offer great programming! On Saturday, April 1, the library is partnering with the West Pikeland Township’s Parks and Recreation Committee for a Community Egg Hunt. The event will last from 10:30-11:30 and the egg hunt will begin at 11am sharp! Children of all ages are welcome to hunt for candy-filled eggs, get their picture taken with the Easter bunny, explore rescue vehicles, and plant flower seeds from the library’s Seed Connection. We hope to see you there! |

The library is redecorating for Spring! Similar to our Winter Houses program on MLK Jr. Day, the library will have patrons create watercolor flowers to decorate the tops of our shelves! This drop-in event will take place in the afternoons during the week of April 3-7. During this week, the library will also be offering a few programs for children off from school during Easter break. On Thursday, April 6 from 1:30-2:30, participants can decorate mini bunny cakes with icing, candy, and sprinkles! Register here. Then, on Friday, April 7 at 1:30pm, naturalist Jared Brandt will be visiting to teach us about owls! We’ll even be dissecting real owl pellets! Register here.

Big Fish
April 14 to April 30, 2023
|
Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him—most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. Great for the whole family and overflowing with heart and humor, BIG FISH is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre—for an experience that’s richer, funnier, and bigger than life itself. |
