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.
