The main goal of the Alva Public Library Youth Department is to organize regular events for children and local students to participate in each month.

Students from kindergarten to fifth grade can join Lego Day, held the first three Mondays of each month at 3:15 p.m. They can also visit the library every Tuesday at 3 p.m. for an activity day. Activity days have a different theme every week to provide students with unique and positive experiences. These themes vary from movie days and game days to craft challenge and building days.

Preschoolers can participate in the Little Explorer Program every Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. The Little Explorer Program includes stories, crafts and singing activities followed by a social time where parents and children alike can socialize.

These events provide parents with convenient and accessible options to give their children opportunities for learning and creativity. By attending these activities, children can develop important skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving, all while having fun and engaging with their peers. Additionally, these events can serve as a way for children to foster a love for reading and learning, which can have a positive impact on their academic and personal development.

Amy Ryerson, Youth Librarian for the Alva Public Library is in charge of the events.
