Happening at the Library/Community Center

This FREE program is a FUN, educational, multi-sensory approach to early childhood literacy, designed for families with children ages 0-5, accompanied by a caregiver, but ALL ages are welcome! Each gathering takes place in our Community Center on Wednesday mornings, 10:30am - 12:00pm.

We will come together in a safe, welcoming space each week to dance, play, sing, rhyme, craft, explore science, practice letters, and enjoy stories read aloud. Above all, Caterpillar Club is an opportunity for kids and their families to have FUN together while learning the basic skills of early childhood literacy. Exploring the sounds, rhythms and the stories of language is a rewarding experience for everyone!

Here at Caterpillar Club we want everyone to know that they belong as soon as they walk through the door! We are excited to be a small part of your child’s early years of discovery. After the program, you are very welcome to gather in the orchard and enjoy connecting with other local families w/ children under the apple trees. Please join us!

Are you feeling a little cooped up? We are inviting all stitchers, novice to expert, to come and join us for knitting, crochet, embroidery, or whatever you wish! Bring your projects. We will supply coffee, cocoa and company.

All ages - share your skills!

Past, present, and future come together in this special commemoration of the Embudo Land Grant (1725–2025).

Join us for stories, history, music, and community as we honor the land grant heirs of the Embudo Valley.
