Welcome to Tween Night! A monthly program exclusively for tweens to learn and socialize. Our group is a space where all tweens can feel safe and included. Meet new people, build community, and learn amazing things along the way. This month we will be joined by the amazing people and animals from LAPP (Larimer Animal-People Partnership)! Tweens will get the chance to meet therapy dogs and give them some well-deserved pets and attention. When we're not giving puppies some love, we'll be having fun and connecting over games. Please note: interacting with the therapy dogs is completely optional, however the dogs will be in the same room as us for the entirety of the program. If your child is allergic or for any reason cannot be in the same room as dogs, we recommend skipping this Tween Night. We'll see you at the next one! This program is intended for ages 9-13. There will be some snacks and drinks provided. Parents are encouraged to stay in the library during this program.

Fort Collins is Colorado State University's town, at the mouth of the Poudre Canyon, and its Old Town was the model for Disneyland's Main Street. The Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, Horsetooth Reservoir and the Poudre River Trail are the family regulars. Poudre Libraries serve the city from three branches.
Holiday events for kids in Fort Collins, 2026: tree lightings, light displays, Santa visits and gingerbread workshops, day by day.
27 children’s events are on in Fort Collins in the next seven days, read every night from the calendars of Poudre Libraries (5 branches, 419 upcoming programmes). Library programmes are free. Museum and zoo events say “admission may apply”; check the venue for prices.
The same calendars serve Laporte and Timnath, so searching any of those names finds the same events.
38 places to collect. Tap “I'm here” when you're at one and the stamp goes in your book; collect 5 and print the certificate.
Stamps live on your phone. Open your passport to see them all, print the certificate, or save them to your email.
Yes and no. Every event, time, address and link is open to anyone. An account only lets you save outings you plan to go to.
Each library and venue calendar is re-read every night, so a cancelled storytime disappears within a day. Times are shown in Fort Collins’s own time zone.
Babies and toddlers, preschoolers, early grades, tweens and teens. Pick an age range above to narrow the list; leave them all off to see everything.
