STORY TIMES at the Library

Regular story times will begin again in September.

Story Time Days and Times:
Tuesdays: Toddler Tales 9:30am
Thursdays: Preschool Story Time at 9:30am
Fridays: Stories & Songs (2 and 3 year olds) 10:30am

Dads & Donuts: Upcoming Dates

Mothers and other caregivers are also welcome.

Note: Saturday morning story time meets at 10:30AM the first Saturday of the month from October-March, unless otherwise noted.

Babies & Books - (birth to 18 months) Thursdays, 10:30 am
Early literacy studies have shown that children who are read to from an early age have better language skills, grow up to be better readers, and are more likely to enjoy reading.

When you come to Babies & Books story time you and your infant will be introduced not only to a variety of books, but to songs and rhymes, as well. Repeat these songs and rhymes at home and read to your children every day. The library has a wealth of children's books. For an infant, look for books with bright, bold illustrations and minimal text. Also look at the board book section; these books will stand up to more wear and tear than other books.

Space is limited and registration is required. You may call the library or come in person to sign up.

Mothers know best. And in this challenging economy, mothers (and non-mothers alike) know that it’s key to keep families earning, and children learning.

― send a strong message to Congress to support working mothers and families by increasing funds for child care and other early childhood programs.
