Kids Programs at the Library

Regular storytimes take place September through May, on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 10:00 (for toddlers) and 10:30 a.m.(for age 3 and older). On the first and third Mondays each month, at 10:30, there is a lapsit storytime session for children younger than 12 months. These programs provide young children with the opportunity to learn social skills in a group situation, to broaden their worlds, and to be introduced to books and the library.

During the summer there are special programs for preschool-age children. See the summer reading program calendars for these events.

Storytime programs depend on the cooperation of parent, child, and storyteller. Our main goal is for everyone to have a good time at the library. To make this experience an enjoyable one for your child, we ask for your cooperation and assistance in the following ways:

• Discuss with your child what to expect at storytime
• Please arrive on time. Children are easily distracted by newcomers.
• Allow the children to focus on the program. Please take children who become restless outside the storytime area.
• Set a good example. Please remain attentive during presentation of the story.
• Encourage children to observe library manners.
