This week’s library activities
STEUBENVILLE — The Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County’s Nutcracker StoryWalk will begin today and continue through through Jan. 9.
Families can bring their children and begin the adventure of reading “The Christmas Book Flood,” by Emily Kilgore. A map for the StoryWalk can be picked up at Leonardo’s Coffeehouse or BookMarx Bookstore. Pages of the book will be posted alongside the life-size nutcrackers along Fourth Street. Once you have finished reading all of the pages, bring your map to the Main Library where children will receive a nutcracker surprise.
Children can now pick up a Harry Potter grab-and-go craft at any library location, while supplies last.
