Are you a fan of LEGO? How about old school building toys of yesteryear like Lincoln Logs? If so, consider dropping by the Busch Branch for our Block Party!
We will have a variety of building toys set out so that you can make some wonderful creations!
This program is for ages 3 and up. No registration is required. We hope to see you there!
As a NASA@ My Library partner, the Warren Public Library received four circulating telescopes through grant funding and a generous donation from the Grosse Pointe Public Library. In partnership with the Warren Astronomical Society, the libraries will offer telescope events throughout the year, as well as the opportunity to check out the telescope and use it to view the night sky at home.
Each Warren Public Library branch has a library telescope for Warren patrons to check out with a valid library card. Each telescope will circulate for one week with no renewals or holds. Each household can check out a telescope once every thirty days. Visit any Warren Public Library Branch for more information.
The Library Telescope program is a national initiative that began in 2008 to give greater access of telescopes and to check them out at public libraries, just as books are checked out.

April 1-30, All Branches
April is National Poetry Month. To celebrate, tweens and teens are invited to submit their own original poetry to any Warren library branch by the end of the month for a chance to win a prize. All types of poetry will be accepted but it must be one page long or less. To enter, print off this form and attach it to your poem or pick up a pre-printed form from the library.
Ages 10-17. Winners will be announced in May. For more poetry fun, stop by any branch during the month of April to pick up an old book page to try your hand out at black-out poetry.
The Warren Public Library is pleased to announce the arrival of Grab-and-Go Science at Busch Branch Library.
Busch Branch now has science kits available for check out. Each themed kit explores topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through fun and kid-friendly hands-on activities, such as Snap Circuits, KEVA Planks, and Artie 3000 The Coding Robot. Each kit also contains a related book and instructions. Themes include: Circuits; Electronics, Coding, and Bots; Estimation and Patterns; the Human Body; and Machines and Contraptions. These kits are intended for children, tweens, and teens ages 6 and older; recommended ages vary by kit and activity.
More kits—including a telescope, a microscope, and a chemistry set—will be added to the collection soon.
Grab-and-Go Science kits check out for 21 days and can be renewed up to two times. These kits must be checked out from and returned to Busch Branch Library.
Grab-and-Go Science kits were provided through the support of the (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) IEEE-Region 4 and others.
