School Age Programs
Kuna Library Programs for School-Age Children
As a way to keep our patrons and staff as safe as possible, we ask that you abide by the following protocols when visiting the library:
- Class sizes are limited, and spots are given on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- If you or your child are not feeling well, please don’t attend our programs or visit the library.
- All programs are subject to change without notice.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation!
