The Library in the Parks program celebrates 16 years serving the community at the City Parks of Aberdeen. Staff at the Aberdeen Timberland Library have planned 11 weeks of activities for all ages, at four Aberdeen city parks. We will spend our time creating memories, building with magnetic tiles or giant Tetris, working on our creative skills, making new friends, reading in the shade, and enjoying the fresh summer breeze.
What is Library in the Parks?
This program is offered through through the generous support of multiple community partners. The Aberdeen School District provided free meals for children in our community, the YMCA distributes food and provides sports equipment to borrow, and the Aberdeen Parks Department caretakes for these lovely outdoor 3rd spaces in our community.
