Along with the weekly storytime and Makerspace events, the Escalon Library on Second Street has a couple of special programs planned for December.

The first Saturday of the month, Saturday, Dec. 2 will feature the ‘Science Saturday’ program beginning at noon and the focus will be on Volcanoes.

Attendees can use the products provided to design their own custom volcano and, with a few household products, make a colorful, foaming eruption to complete the project.

Science Saturday is a series of programs hosted each month at the library to engage kids in science and math through experiments, activities, guest presenters and more.

Coming up on Saturday, Dec. 9 the entire family is invited to Frosty’s Magic Hat, when puppeteer and magician Tony Borders will make an appearance with a noontime show. His festive production will include characters from Frosty to a princess, a genie and a spirit bear.

The programs are provided through the generosity of the Friends of the Escalon Library.

Weekly programs include the toddler and preschool storytime on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m., with stories, songs, games and more. Also on Thursday, designed for those ages 10 and up, is the Makerspace program, offered at 4 p.m. and including computers, crafts, 3D printing, science experiments and more.
