ACTIVITY KITS

Are cries of "I'm bored!" "What can I do now?" "I don't WANNA do that!", echoing through your house? NMPL is here to save the day... with Activity Kits! These amazing kits are sure to cure even the most bored child and keep them occupied for hours! Each kit includes all the supplies you will need to create an amazing art project, as well as information on which parts of the kit you get to keep, and which part you bring back to NMPL.

Activity Kits can be checked out at the front desk, placed on hold through the phone, or requested via our Curbside Services.
