BPL's FREE & FUN March Break for Kids

March Break is just around the corner—and we're getting ready for a busy week! If you and your kids are looking for fun activities that won't cost you a dime, put Burlington Public Library on your Go-To list—where the programs, parking, and friendly smiles are always free!

What's On

When it's tough to plan too far ahead, you can count on your library to offer engaging adventures for kids that don't require registration. If you're looking for a last-minute solution, check out these activities.

March Break Bingo - A self-directed game for kids of all ages. Pick up a bingo card at your local branch, and when four squares in a row are completed, bring in your card by March 15 for a sticker prize! All locations

Although registration is not required to attend the following three programs, we ask you to respect their start times. Spaces may be limited, so please arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Puppets in Space - Our funny and talented BPL puppeteers retell the story of the Three Little Pigs—with an intergalactic twist! There will be music, stories and laughs for the whole family! Please plan to get seated and settled before showtime. Various dates and times at 2 locations.

Fact or Fiction? Let's Test It! - Prove or debunk some theories through experimentation! Can a piece of paper only be folded 7 times? Are bubbles always round? Fact or fiction? You put it to the test! Ages 8+. Various dates and times at 5 locations.

Stuffies Night at the Library - A sleepover adventure for your stuffed animal! Ever wondered what happens at the library after dark? Bring your favorite stuffed friend for a cozy storytime—then tuck them in for a night of fun and mischief behind the scenes! The next day, pick up your stuffy and check out the exciting adventures they had while you were asleep. Various dates at 4 locations.
