Tuesday Circle Time at Takoma Park Library

“On Tuesdays, we rave at Takoma Park Maryland Library’s ‘Community Circle Time’ (there’s a 10am and 11am session 2/10/20 Update: Just do one session at 10:30am). It’s legit awesome, especially when local rockstar Mr. Gabe MCs with Miss Karen the librarian; seriously, look at how much fun she is having!

Circle Time Travel Tips

  1. Parking can be a nightmare, so park on Grant Ave and walk the 2 minutes downhill to the library.
  2. Pack a picnic lunch and stop at the playground off Grant Ave before heading home. There’s a fun bamboo “forest” to run and hide in, too!”

Neighborhood Circle Time

  • Tuesdays at 10:30am 10am OR 11am. (Because of crowding, we ask people to attend one or the other.)
  • Registration for these is helpful because we can let you know if a program needs to be canceled or rescheduled.

The Takoma Park Maryland Library is located at 101 Philadelphia Avenue, Takoma Park, MD 20912.
