Bluey will return to the Children's Room at the FDL Public Library during February

Kids will have much to celebrate in February at the Fond du Lac Public Library. From the return of Bluey to the final weeks of the Winter Reading Program, they will have plenty to do.

Youth will be especially excited about the return of their favorite Blue Heeler, Bluey! The library will hold two sessions on Saturday, Feb. 22 with Bluey this year; caregivers should choose to bring children to either the 10 a.m. program or the 1 p.m. session. 

No registration will be required for this free event, at which kids can play favorite Heeler family games, participate in crafts, and meet Bluey herself. This will be a first-come, first-served event held in various rooms at the Fond du Lac Public Library.
