Having a great spring break!

We’ve been pulling out all the stops here at North County to bring you the best in Spring Break programs for children and young adults!

So far this week, we’ve designed and made T-shirts, had an afternoon of strategy games, watched Alvin & the Chipmunks and Horton Hears a Who, and had a Guitar Hero tournament where one lucky winner walked away with a 20 dollar Gamespot gift card!

The week’s not over, either. Tomorrow we’ve got another movie for kids at 12PM, and then Magnetic Poetry for teens. For more information on either of these, call us on 704-416-6000.

The fun doesn’t end with Spring Break, of course. Even when break’s over, we have a full range of activities for children and young adults, ranging from storytimes to video games, from anime clubs to mask making. Call or watch this space for more details.

Hope you’re all having a great Spring Break!
