2025 Children’s Saturday Programs
This Winter the Friends of the Westfield Memorial Library are making Saturday Special with programs for children. Performers and educators entertain and engage this inquisitive group of library patrons.
Tickets required for all children and adults attending the programs.
Tickets will be available the day of the program at the Youth Services Desk. Space is limited – tickets are first come/first served and may run out. Please note that the start time varies. Check the schedule carefully.
Priority is given to people who have a full-service WML card in their name or are members of the Friends of the Library. If you have any questions, please ask a Youth Services librarian.
February 1st @ 10:30 am Wizard Academy
Recommended for ages: 4-12
Join the loony Professor Hackensneeze as he leads children on a zany day-in-the-life of a ‘Wizard In Training’ (W.I.T). During “Wizard Academy!” children will have their brain, eyes and reflexes tested with fun challenges and illusions, and stir up their imaginations with instruction on potions, wand etiquette, and levitation. Hallmarks of this riotous family- friendly show are madcap sound effects, slapstick antics, talking trolls and a visit from his furry Sidekick Mortimer. Presto Hilarioso!
February 8th @ 10:30 am Science Heroes Adventure of the Lost Treasure
Recommended for ages: 4-12
Join us on a fu and interactive “treasure-hunting” adventure deep within the jungle!
