Sign up to have a librarian read with your child. Depending on your child's age and reading ability your child might want to only be read to OR they may read to us! This a great opportunity to gain reading confidence and encourage a love for reading.
Once you register we will be in touch with you by Sunday evening to schedule a time that works best for your schedule between 9am-12pm. You may also select books on Hoopla for practicing readers so that a librarian may follow along (that is optional). This program is best for Toddlers/Preschooler through age 9.
Mondays virtually on Ring Central from 9 AM-12 PM, Wednesdays drop-in between 3:00-4:30 PM in the Children's Room
