In 2026, we are "Serving Up Literacy!" Spark 5
is a free, story time held every third Saturday from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM at Aldine Library. Children enjoy fun “courses” based on the five practices of early literacy, with a new holiday or observance featured each month. Every child receives a free book to take home.

Spark 5 is adaptive and designed for all children, including those with different learning or physical needs.
