K-day is coming!
The Pelham Public Library’s K-Day is an annual event, held during Library card sign-up month, when children entering kindergarten can get their first library cards. This year, it will be held on Saturday September 29th from noon to 3 p.m.
Getting a Library Card is only one part of K-Day. There are also always other fun activities to entertain everyone who attends. This year, Adam Auslander, a clown and street performer, will be on hand to make this Pelham ritual even more enjoyable!
Kids receiving library cards will also get a goodie bag. (Parents please bring your photo ID and proof of Pelham residence.)
