About this event

Calling curious kids in Grades K-2! Did you know that no two people share the exact same fingerprints? We'll learn how to identify fingerprint patterns and lift our own unique prints just like a real crime scene investigator. Registration is required and opens on September 22, 2026. Due to the nature of this program and popularity, we cannot accept late arrivals after 4:40 pm. At this point your registration will be granted to the next present patron on the waitlist. This program is part of the Library’s 2026 Scholarly Series, Whodunits, Locked Rooms & Amateur Sleuths: Investigating the World of Mysteries, sponsored by the Friends of the Ridgefield Library.
