Watch & Make: Winnie the Pooh Birthday Picnic

Watch & Make: Winnie the Pooh Birthday Picnic is happening at the Little Walnut Creek Branch on Saturday, September 5, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM. It's a free event open to the public, and the whole afternoon is set up like a mini birthday party: a movie, snacks, and a craft.

The occasion is a double birthday. The Austin Public Library is celebrating its centennial—100 years as a place of learning, connection, and possibility, from 1926 to 2026—and Winnie-the-Pooh happens to be turning 100 at the same time. The session is part of the library's Centennial Celebrations, a series of activities marking that milestone.

Inside the room, they're splitting things up by age. One half is for preschoolers aged 3 to 5, and the other is for children aged 6 to 10, so the movie, snacks, and craft will be tailored to each group. It's a good way to bring the kids along without the younger ones getting overwhelmed or the older ones getting bored.

If you're planning to go, it's at the Little Walnut Creek Branch, 835 W. Rundberg Ln. The session runs from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM on Saturday, September 5, and it's free and open to the public.
