Do you homeschool? Then come to Hercules Library for the grand opening of our Homeschool Resource Center!

Tuesday, October 17, 2023 | 11:30AM – 12:30PM

Our newly repurposed space is reserved for Homeschool families Tuesday through Friday, 10am-2pm.

At the grand opening, you'll get to meet & mingle with homeschool families, enjoy a short info session on using the Dewey Decimal system to find items in the library, and then go on a scavenger hunt to test your skills! We'll share our plans for the room, and would love to hear from you, too. No reservations required, and all ages are welcome.

For special accommodation, please contact the library within 72 hours of the event.

The Starry Cone is finally complete with the addition of two new stars. These tactile wall panels provide an interactive, educational and safe area for younger children of all abilities and needs. They were designed and installed by the Burgeon Group in collaboration with our fantastic Hercules Library staff. The Hercules Library Foundation is proud to have raised funds for this space and thanks the many generous donors who have made it possible.

We are so pleased to have been a part of this amazing renovation!

Star Party at the StarryCone!
Saturday, May 27, 10:30 am-12 noon

Two new stars have been born at Hercules Public Library's StarryCone! Celebrate the new additions at the Star Party where we'll play with the new interactive wall panels, have space themed arts and crafts for kids, and a fun Instagrammable photo booth to commemorate the occasion.

The StarryCone is Hercules Library's rocket-shaped play room full of interactive early literacy wall panels, puzzles, and imagination fueled fun. The wall panels have been specially designed by the Burgeon Group to address the Every Child Ready to Read program’s Pre-literacy Skills and Practices and STEM goals, making them both fun and educational.
