Take Your Child to the Library Day

Celebrate Take Your Child to the Library Day at the Portsmouth Free Public Library on Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a fun, family-friendly drop-in event for children and their caregivers! This national celebration highlights the important role libraries play in supporting learning, curiosity, and family time, and we’re excited to invite families to explore all the library has to offer.

Throughout the day, stop by the Children’s Library to enjoy hands-on activities designed to spark imagination and literacy, including a giant word search, color-your-own bookmarks, and craft activities (available while supplies last). Whether you stay for a few minutes or linger for a while, this flexible, drop-in event is a perfect way to spend time together, discover new books, and make the library part of your family’s routine. All ages are welcome, and no registration is required, just bring your curiosity and love of reading!
