What's Happening in Youth Services?

A Big Thank You & A New Program

First, a huge thank-you to all the wonderful patrons and staff who donated to our annual Giving Tree! You have made Christmas so much merrier for homeless children served by Emmaus, Inc., and we our deeply moved by your outpouring of support and amazing generosity.


Now that the holidays are over, the Youth Services Department is starting the new year with a brand-new program: “Story to Screen,” a monthly screening of movies based on popular children’s books!


And after our lighter programming last month, we’re resuming favorite programs such as “Sensory Saturday” (ages 18 mos.-3), “Homeschool Hub” (ages 5-10), “Boredom Busters” (ages 6-9), “History Unlocked” (ages 8-12), and “Create, Explore & More!” (ages 9-12). 



As ever, we’ll also have our usual variety of other preschool programs, storytimes, teen programs, and more – keep an eye on the Youth Services Department calendar and Facebook page to keep track of what’s in store!


Happy New Year, and Happy Reading!
