Another day, another local library to check out. Spend your afternoon with a movie at the library! When Woody Buzz and the gang join Bonnie on a road trip with her new craft project turned toy, Forky the innocent little spork’s antics launch Woody on a wild quest filled with unexpected new characters, and one long lost friend.

FiDi Families Insiders: Join them every Tuesday afternoon for Children’s films! Also a visiting librarian told me, “They essentially have a playroom (with a wind tunnel, kitchen playset, mini slide, & more!) and a baby corner all out on their children’s floor.” So come early or stay late to enjoy the place!
