Happy Birthday to You!

Host your child’s next birthday party at the Pleasant Hills Library! 

You bring the party and we’ll provide a themed storytime and craft activity for your partygoers! Create your own theme or choose from a variety of age-appropriate suggestions. Parties can accommodate a group of up to twenty children, with a minimum of two adults present. In addition to a tailored storytime, the birthday child will also receive an honor book in celebration of their special day!

Our program room can be reserved for a two hour time slot during regular hours on weekday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Available dates are limited by library programming and staff availability. You may register for a date up to 8 weeks in advance. You must register in person with Miss Dani.

A minimum donation of $50 is requested. The donation amount may vary based on group size, library involvement, and other factors.

The library will provide use of our tables and chairs, a library professional to lead a 30 minute storytime, a craft and/or activity, and an honor book in celebration of the birthday child.

The party host is responsible for providing refreshments, utensils, decorations, supervision of children, and clean up. Party hosts are expected to remove all garbage from the premises and return the program room to its original condition.
