Our structured storytime includes singing, interactive activities, and reading from one of our Youth Services library workers. Lights will be dimmed and sound limited.

This storytime is recommended for ages 0-7. Group size is limited to 15 families.


Kids Club

Kids and tweens (ages 6 -11) can drop in, meet new friends, and try out fun activities each week at Kids Club! Activities include after-school activities like games, crafts, art, movies, special performances, and more. Kids Club occurs weekly at different times and library locations.

Storytimes

Storytime makes learning fun! Featuring stories, songs, rhymes, and other activities, it emphasizes five simple practices—reading, talking, writing, singing, and playing—that help children learn the skills they need to be ready to read. Storytime is a great way to introduce your child to language skills in a positive and fun environment.

Occurring weekly at different times and library locations.
