Looking for some fantastic ways to keep the whole family active and entertained this week? Parsons Public Library has you covered from Monday, July 20 to Saturday, July 25 with an absolute jam-packed schedule of events. Kick off your week on Monday morning with a "Let's Move!" walk at Forest Park, or join in on family favorites like Line Dancing and Family Bingo later that evening.

As the week winds down, Thursday features a "Let's STEAM!" session at 4:00 p.m. where kids ages 10–18 can experiment with different types of technology, followed by a Friday lineup featuring a Dinosaur Eye Magnet Craft, teen cooking, and a Crystal Mirror Craft for all ages.
