Sylvester-Worth Co. Margaret Jones Public Library hosts “Books and Bubbles” event

SYLVESTER, Ga. – Now, if you’re a parent of a young child, it can be tough to keep them occupied throughout the entire week. Margaret Jones Public Library has the solution by providing activities and events for young kids throughout the entire month of January.

In fact, the Sylvester-Worth County Public Library hosts year-round programs, featuring weekly activities that children love, plus opportunities for parents or grandparents to join in and share the joy of reading together.

“Well, the library is always open to our community, where that’s the whole point of, why we do what we do. We want to serve as our community and be able to bring programs or fun, free activities, to people that may not be able to have other activities any other place. We like to say that the libraries are, a place where people can come somewhere, where you can have fun. Without having to pay anything. So, we like to have our library open to any and everybody that wants to come and, just, you know, let kids have fun,” said Blair Parris, Youth Services Assistant.

Today, and every Tuesday, it’s all about “Books and Bubbles” at the library.

The day kicks off with story time, where kids dive into a good book, followed by loads of fun with balloons and bubbles. It’s a chance for kids to be themselves, express their joy, and enjoy their very own section of the library dedicated to this exciting event.

“So, our books and bubbles are every Tuesday. It starts at 10:30. We read books to the kids. They come and they just have fun. Today, we bought balloons for them, and we did little crafts with them. And, we blow bubbles, of course, at the end and have blocks for them to play with and everything. And, it’s just somewhere that they can come. And, you know, the parents can just bring them to us and they can have a fun day with kids around their age. It’s from 0 to 5. Of course, it’s open to anybody. They’d like to come,” said Parris.

With so many activities for kids and families, the Margaret Jones Public Library continues to be a hub for connection, creativity, and fun in the community.

Be sure to check out their full calendar of events and make the library your go-to spot for family-friendly fun all year round.
