Beatley Central Library’s coding club explores different programming topics – hoping to encourage and inspire future programmers everywhere!

Some of the lessons are presented through various online resources. Creating an account to save your work &/or to receive notification may be necessary. Contact Miss Amanda (akite@alexlibraryva.org) if you have any questions.

Please note that this program will be held indoors. While children ages 0-5 are now eligible for vaccines, the library is continuing to offer outdoor programming and is slowly phasing in indoor programming for all ages. Until it is determined to be safe for both staff and patrons, we will not offer maximum occupancy to indoor events. Indoor programming in meeting rooms will be phased in starting with 30% of maximum room occupancy for programs for children. Please arrive early to indoor programs as space is limited. Masks may be required at some indoor programs for all participants.

This program is for anyone ages 8-14.
