Libraries and activities

One of the things I love doing with my son is going to the library . The nearest library to Durbin Crossing is Bartram Trail Branch (also called the “Julington Creek Library”) located at 60 Davis Pond Blvd. Fruit Cove, FL.

The library has movies, audiobooks, and music on top of all their books. Each branch has a range of great activities and classes for kids (and adults) and all are free with a library card.

Library for Kids:
There are so many fantastic programs for kids of all ages. If you are looking for something fun to do with your littles, the branches have storytime for toddlers. There are classes that encourage dancing and crafts. For elementary age kids, the library has classes like a robotics lab, kids book clubs, and art and crafts.

Library for Teens: Yes, teens have lots of resources too! One of the things I love is that the library provides live homework help. Talk about a life saver! Teens can also take classes such as Pull String Painting, and listen to podcasts like Anime Corner.
