PRESS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January

Ripon, WI- Ripon Public Library is excited to announce its January lineup of special events for all ages! Thanks to funding from the Friends of the library, events and special offerings are always free. Registration is not required unless noted.

Storytime! |WEDS JAN 18 – FEB 22 @ 10:00 AM | Kids & Caregiver

Welcome to active learning and fun, where early literacy and STEM concepts come to life through stories, music, movement, and enrichment activities. It’s a happy place for kids and caregivers to learn and play. Winter Storytimes focus on dynamic indoor activities to keep kids happy and active. Stay and Play in the Romper Room after Storytime. This active space allows kids to release their excess energy and advance their physical skills all while supporting social connections for adults and children.

No School Movie Madness | THU JAN 19 and FRI JAN 20 @ 10 AM & 2 PM | Kids & Families

Four unique, G or PG-rated, family-friendly movies will grace the library’s big screen. Enjoy stereo sound and popcorn too! Children 9+ may participate unattended, but a parent’s phone # needs to be communicated to staff at the front desk. Children 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Visit the library’s website or social media platforms for movie titles and ratings.

Read with a Girl Scout | Mon Jan 23 @ 6-7 PM | Kids & Families

Girl Scout Troop 2570 members, with leader Jessica Wood, share their love of books and reading with kids of all ages. Partner up with a scout who will read favorite books or listen and support striving readers. Whichever combo suits, it’s a win-win toward promoting excitement and confidence in reading while discovering new authors, series, and titles together!

Ongoing Programs

Romper Room

Physical activity and human connections are important for healthy, happy human beings, and the Romper Room facilitates both! Focusing on active play the room features a trike & trailer, foot-to-floor vehicles, a balance bike, tunnels, tumbling mats, balance beams, and more. The Romper Room is most engaging for ages 2-6 years, though older kids are welcome. The Romper Room is always open during regular library hours. Drop-ins are welcome, though reserving a specific play time with family and friends assures availability.

Monday Matinees

Every Monday at 10 am and 2 p.m. enjoy a newly released or classic film on the big screen. Popcorn is served. For movie title and rating call the library or check the website.
