What to Expect
Frankford is a small-town library that punches above its size on programming. Baby Bees is the recurring story time for the littlest kids, Feelings Rock adds a music-flavored session, and Storytime on Parsons Farm is held offsite at Parsons Farm — worth checking the calendar for, since it's the most distinctive thing here. School-age kids get Lego Club and occasional build-and-paint wooden kits, and there's a steady teen and tween lane: book club, craft club, D&D, and a movie night.
The library's page also points to STEM kits you can grab and go or assemble on site.
Plan around the hours. Friday doesn't open until noon and closes at 5pm, Saturday ends at 2pm, and it's closed Sunday.
Who It's Best For
Babies and toddlers have Baby Bees and Feelings Rock; the Parsons Farm storytime is held offsite. Lego Club and the wooden build-and-paint kits are the bigger-kid options, and teens and tweens have a book club, a craft club, D&D, and a movie night. Posted ages vary by program — check the calendar listing.
