18 children’s events are on in Roanoke in the next seven days, read every night from the calendars of Roanoke Public Libraries (15 branches, 99 upcoming programmes). Library programmes are free. Museum and zoo events say “admission may apply”; check the venue for prices.
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 Roanoke’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.
