The Sanibel Public Library offers activities for patrons who are interested in virtual reality.

On Nov. 30, ages 10 and older can enjoy the awe and wonder of the ocean in a virtual underwater world from 3 to 4 p.m. Patrons can also create a masterpiece using Google Paint. Both programs are first come, first serve; no registration is required.

The library also hosts the following weekly programs for children:

– Family Story Time: Wednesdays at 11 a.m. and Thursdays at 11 a.m. For young readers and their caregivers, the program helps develop pre-reading skills through songs and stories.

– After-School Crew: Thursdays at 3 p.m. Children in kindergarten through third grade will enjoy favorite books, never-knew-existed books, games and crafts, with a snack provided.

– Reading to Bessie: Rain-free Thursdays from 3:45 to 5 p.m. Have fun reading to Bessie, a bearded collie and Reading Education Assistance Dog. Participants can sign up on the spot.

– After-School Clique: Tuesdays at 3 p.m. Geared for children in fourth through sixth grade, the group will craft, build, make and play, with books and a provided snack thrown in.

The children’s programs can be found on the calendar online.
