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!
