Drop in and participate in our outdoor climate-themed literacy fair! For children of all ages.

Join us for a fun-filled day of learning about bees and pollinators through crafts, games, hands-on activities and sustainable prizes! Enjoy face painting, a foam machine and make your own paper puppets at our DIY station.

Families are encouraged to pick up a passport and collect a sticker from each station. Once completed, trade in the passport for a free seed packet (while supplies last). 

Don't forget to wear a hat & sunscreen! If rain, the fair will be cancelled. The program will also be cancelled if temperatures (or the humidex) surpass 36°C or an air quality advisory has been issued. Cancellation notices will be posted on the KFPL website.
