About
Youth Programs at Shaler North Hills Library includes activities such as After-Hours Craftin’: Tie-Dye, Movies On Your Mind, the Great Gardens Tour, Touch-a-Truck!, the 16th Annual Car Cruise at Scott Primary, and Phantom of the Library. After-Hours Craftin’: Tie-Dye takes place after hours in the library for an evening of tie-dye creating, and participants bring one item of their choice to tie-dye while the program supplies the rest. Phantom of the Library involves traveling through the darkened rooms of the library looking for candy treasures, with the risk of being frozen in the dungeon if caught by the Phantom.
