The answer?  Our beloved Halifax Public Libraries . 

As if the collection of books, magazines, videos and ebooks isn’t enough to make you want to visit any of our great public libraries, the amazing line up of programs, classes and activities should.

My kids love doing their own puppet shows in the kids area at the Spring Garden location and the great open play area at the  Keshen Goodman location   

It’s an amazing resource for families with programs for kids of all ages.  Offering parent and tot drop-in classes, children’s programs and lots of options for teens. 

Whether you go as a family or just a few of you, any time at your local library is considered time well spent.  Go explore and enjoy!
