Through dramatic play, children learn to identify patterns in literature, art, and music. They will create visual and musical patterns of their own, while deepening their understanding through interactive storytelling using their created character props.

Bon Air Library is located in the historic village of Bon Air. It replaced the Hazen Memorial Library, the first lending library in Chesterfield County. Bon Air Library was renovated in 2014 to meet the changing needs of the community. It features a large artificial tree prominently centered in the children’s area, where petal shaped pillows surround the trunk and large branches extend to the ceiling. It is the perfect place for children’s play or reading. The library’s open floor plan allows for lots of natural light, as well as easy access to books and resources. Bon Air offers programs and workshops to meet the needs of the community, such as financial literacy and retirement classes, a LEGO club and dozens of family-friendly activities.
