Takoma Park Maryland Library Programs
Library events are free and open-to-all. Registration provides the Library and its partners with a headcount so we can prepare accordingly. Registration, however, does not guarantee a seat, and participants are encouraged to arrive early.
Interested in a children's program? Register each child individually, under the child's name, and please indicate age.
