When kids learn a skill such as cooking, they may benefit from it in more ways than just staying busy. The childrenвЂ™s section is filled with a variety of books to teach new skills from coding, gardening, drawing, or cooking. There are classic games such as Guess Who and Monopoly as well as newer games such as Disney Meme, Taco vs Burrito, and the Exploding Kittens card game.Learning a new hobby or an important life skill is a great option to keep kids entertained and engaged. Board games arenвЂ™t just a great way to keep kids entertained, but have some proven benefits such as teaching patience, increased brain function, reducing stress, strengthening relationships, and boosting creativity and self-confidence. Whether itвЂ™s basic first aid, tips on making a better camping experience, guides for camping in a specific state or area, or a campground cookbook, there are some materials available to make your experience more enjoyable.Games are available at the Sebring library for patrons to take home and play with their family and friends.

On July 14th, there will be a live virtual author event for graphic novel authors Victoria Jamieson and John Gallagher. There are several events going on depending on age and interest. With themed cookbooks that range from princess tea parties to Masterchef Junior, there is something guaranteed to catch the interest of any budding chef.This summer we also have virtual book clubs taking place for young readers.
