Storytimes:
ToddlerTime is a Storytime especially
for 2 year old children. As this is often the first Storytime for
children, we ask that caregivers accompany the child. We will be sharing
stories, rhymes, games and songs. ToddlerTime is held on Monday's at 10:00
a.m. in March and October.
Preschool Storytime is geared for
children age 3 - 5, with stories, songs, fingerplays and crafts. It is
held from September through April on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
and Thursday at 10:00 a.m. No registration is required. The same
theme is shared for all Storytimes and the stories are repeated.
Special Craft Activities are held
before major holidays for preschool and school age children. Registration
and a small fee are required.
To provide the best experience for all
children at any of our Storytimes, please try again at another time if a
child of any age is unable to participate appropriately. We feel that
children garner valuable experience at Storytime when they are ready for
them. Please be considerate of the storyteller and the audience when
deciding whether or not to remain at Storytime when your child is having
difficulty. Our staff can assist you in your decision about your child's
readiness to participate in our Storytime programs.
Summer Library Program provides a
funfilled summer of reading enjoyment for all children 3 years old through
sixth grade. This 8 week special event starts the first week in June and
ends the latter part of July. Earn prizes for reading, attend exciting
Monday afternoon programs, take part in contest and games, and much, much
more!
Our Summer Library Program is designed to keep
children and books together during the summer. Reading research has shown
that reading or listening to a book as little as 20 minutes a day can help
children become successful students and adults. Reading over the summer
can also maintain, and in many cases, increase levels of reading growth
experienced over the school year. The Summer Library program is a great
opportunity to foster a love of books and family reading time. |
